Endeavour got delayed when making a turn, so I walked two or three miles to see it in person where it was stopped. Endeavour is the space shuttle that I spontaneously flew to Florida to see its final launch in 2011 (and it didn't launch that day -- here).
I was with a bunch of engineers, so we played spot-the-nerd along the way. I thought I would be the most excited of the group, but these guys knew a disturbing amount of specifics of the shuttle. I was impressed.
To continue my trend of poorly-shoed hiking, we went to the mountains for an afternoon. Most of the time was spent driving through the curving roads, but there was this lovely reservoir. We also found a nice little lake. I'm always amazed by now abandoned these beautiful places are when they're right next to this gigantic city.
