Robbie and Lesley flew in at the same time. We checked out our old art school RMCAD at its new location. When we nt to school it was two shitty office buildings florescent lighting. Now they have their own full campus with historical buildings and a watertower close to Casa Bonita.
After, we headed to Nieve's parents house to visit them and her grandparents. Lesley was pretty excited that they had an accordian to try out.

Robbie wailed on it too

Met up with White Nick at his house. Apparently a meth lab blew up across the street at 4am that morning. They were still cleaning up and testing substances at 3pm.
Front porch view of the action. Nick and Rosy.
Nick and I headed to the mountains to escape the heat and get a little fishing in. We drove around on mountains for hours before we finally found (Animal) Chin's Lake. Saw some trees with fresh bear markings on 'em too.
Nick on the fly
There was a tree snag or 7

WHY NOT RIDE A TRAIN?
Rosy had never jumped on a train. So on our ride back from the edge of West Oakland I got her to hop on one. Seems like something everyone needs to do at least once in their life.

Ended up at 111 Minna for some reason. These portraits were all made up of objects directly relating to the subject. Pretty fun to look at.
