• full-on

  I don’t think I’ve had such a fun time in such a long time. The kind where you laugh so hard, so full-on.

• making a movie

  It was such a crazy, seamless roll out of events — and all the locals (real life actors) were on their A-game — that I think we might have got it all in one cut.

• private

  It goes a bit further, 400-800 meters maybe, and ends at an old creepy man's private property.
  
  The guy got all weird about how this hiking trail goes through “his” land, and how he needed to contact the forest lawyers to do something about all the trespassing.

• vicious barks

  Once through Pit Stop Creepo, the trail seemed to lead us to a dead end where we could have ended up dead.
  
  So, we turned around.

• the shining dogs

  As we came back to the road, out of nowhere, these two small dogs that looked like twins from The Shining — if you can imagine it being a horror film made of, by and for dogs — ran up to us with a bit of a skittish distance between.
  
  They wanted food and, probably, a home.

• commercial break

  I'm looking at the El Espejo del Alma. Window is open to see it clearly without the dirt on the glass to dirty my view. I got a warm whiff of cozy wood burning stove, or straight up fireplace. The birds are chirping, singing and sounding happy. It's mostly quiet.

• pan man

  It’s part of the fairy tail experience — even if his bread is always stale and cookies bland AF.

• heart hands

  I saw him drive by making a heart sign with his hands. I thought that was cute.

• let go

  I let a lot go to mountain.

• fuel

  I'd want two people I cared about to feel and fuel the fire that is connection.
