I went from one extreme to the other. After Patagonia I returned home to Estes for a few weeks, then went on my first-ever full-on vacation—no climbing involved—a surf trip to Costa Rica with Shannon and three female friends. A lot of time in swimsuits and a few too many cocktails. First it was fun, then a little complicated. I ended up dating one but ultimately had crushes on all three. Should have seen that coming.
