there's an empty space inside my heart where the weeds take root and now i set you free. (i'll set you free.)

here's a few pictures from the weekend in taroko:

look how happy we are cuz we don't know about the snakes yet!  we were so young and full of hope then......

i love ashley's face - she's watching anna attempt to eat a rather questionable-looking breakfast wrap.

ashley's laughing cuz i had just come back from the bathroom and she thought it was a squat toilet and the train had been rocking back and forth.  she's a real pal.

anna nailed this picture.  so creepy.

oh wow.  how did this awesome picture of me on my amazing scooter get on here?  how embarrassing.

this is me loving ashley and her tolerating it.
