a new friend

our good friend kate was visiting this weekend from tahoe. we spent most of this glorious sunshine-filled weekend tanning ourselves on the beach or relaxing on the deck. a super time was had by all. while at the beach this afternoon, we made a new friend, joe. he is a mercenary fighter. although joe is a man of few words, he is a man of action. joe is always in the ready position, aware of his surroundings, and silently watching and waiting. he is no doubt a war hero.

storming the beaches of normandy

at the ready in desert storm

stalking in the mountain caves of tora bora

wading through the razor sharp grasses of vietnam

on special operations in parts unknown

joe has become a very close friend of ours, and we imagine he will be tagging along on many future adventures and endeavors. we hear he speaks spanish, so we're considering allowing him to join us in peru next week.
