No pictures for now. For once!
Today we went and returned the car (van), went to Powells, ate tempeh reubens and BBQ tofu sandwiches at a veg food cart, went to the Chinese Gardens and tea house, and then were heading back to the eastside to visit the vegan grocery store/clothing store when Justin swerved to avoid being hit by a bus, had his bike wheel POP OFF, and then did a face plant in the sidewalk. I appropriately reacted by running up and down the sidewalk screaming while everyone else called 911. Firetrucks even showed up. We got to spend four hours (at least) hanging out in the ER, where Justin got a CAT scan, four X-rays, three stitches, and I talked to some possibly from Duran Duran (he had a cracked rib from a mike, an overinflated ego, and a Duran Duran pass... I could totally be wrong, though). After our tour through there we came back to the hostel, had the bike rental guy bring us strawberries and chocolate (and we broke his bike! How nice!) and watched silly internet videos over organic pizza (MMM, Hot Lips).
We've decided we want to move here.
This trip couldn't have been any more perfect. Except, you know, had Justin not gotten hurt. Then it would be AWESOME.
