So we cycled through washington and now we're in astoria, oregon. We took a ferry from victoria to port angeles, and then it was night time, and we found this patch of grass in a city park to camp on. it looked so nice. but then at 3:00am these sprinklers came on, and like totally went right through the vent in the side of my tent and started soaking me. i was like swearing and running around and trying to move my tent, and i fell into a puddle of mud and lawn clippings, and i was so mad. anyways, the next morning lance armstrong was like, "that was some storm, huh?" also tomorrow is lance's birthday and he's going to be 72 i think.
i'm at the library and i can't put pictures up, which sucks.
We biked through the olympic peninsula. eveyone said it would be really cool, but it didn't seem that great to me. there was like a rain forest though, so that was cool i guess. also, now there are racoons. one went through my pannier and ate all this stuff. last night Erik, Peter and i slept at this rest area near the bridge into astoria. i think my standards of living are going down. we weren't supposed to camp there, and like we were right by the highway, and there was this really big light on us, and like all these semi-trucks and what not. Peter's from England and i guess they call them "lories" over there, and so we're all, "look, you gotta call them semi-s now." but then yesterday he refered to one as a samuri truck. ha ha. I tried fixing my bike myself, which didn't work, but i got a ton of grease on my hands. then i was trying to clean lettuce in the bathroom sink in the rest area and like all these ladies were tyring to wash there hands there and i was looking at my black greasy fingers and thinking, "is this even making the lettuce cleaner?" also last night we put all our food in the bathroom so the racoons didn't get to it.
anyways, not too much else to report. lauren and chris are behind us now cuz they went rock climbing with kernby. but maybe we'll see them again closer to san francisco. i miss them.
also, thanks to kernby for putting us up in his house in vancouver. that was like the most awesome thing ever.

Hey Jessie! That's some crazy crack head story.
When are you going to be near SoCal? Maybe I can meet you somewhere and buy you dinner or something.
