I have been very good, very content, very busy, very happy in my state of being lately. I love the people I am surrounded by at home and at work, aside from one (hristo). I have been working hard to put in my 40 hours every week so I can take that next vacation, and that next vacation, and that next vacation... My best friend was in town this weekend and I got to spend two wonderful days with her and I did get to see all my old friends that I haven't seen in a couple months. I am hungry right now and will be going on our regular monday date to la palmera when he gets off work. I went to the mall today and bought myself two new nice crisp work shirts to make my manager happy.
Taylor and I went to the bite of Seattle on Saturday. We ate phad thai, a coconut, lemonade and ice cream. I was happy. While driving to her home, we decided that it was far too hot to be 10pm so we decided to jump in lake washington. It was wonderful, I was fully clothed.
I guess I never updated about the hike. It was quite intense. Our highest elevation was 6600 ft. We started at 1200 I believe. Our water pump broke the second day and we had to drink from the streams and eat the snow. There were times where we couldn't find flat ground by the time it got dark so we had to sleep on hills. Most of the trail was overgrown so we had to cross through the brush, soley relying on the GPS system. We crossed giant snow/ice patches. We crossed rivers and streams. At one point my shoulder ripped out of the socket. My legs are still scarred from the hike.
So we finally got to go to canada and got to have fun. I absolutely love the Cellar, it's my favorite bar in Canada. At one point we witnessed a woman trying to kill herself. A drugged lady threw her purse into traffic then climbed onto the other side of the bridge. Michael, I and a lady on a bike we're the only ones that did anything. Bike lady called the cops. Michael got her purse out of the traffic. There were dirty drugs in the purse. Crazy lady climbs back to the pedestrian side of the bridge and then walks right into traffic almost getting hit by a motorcycle. I thought to myseld that I really would see this lady die. The cops got her and sent her to get help. The end.
So long. Farewell. Goodbye.
