my 10 reasons

Amanda and I are in a library in the lovely town of Ladysmith on Vancouver Island B.C. She is typing furiously to my right to publish a post on our blog and I guess I am doing the same (but I will say somewhat less furiously). What is she typing? I have no idea but we have gotten into this habit of not telling the other person what we are typing and then just reading the other person's post after they have published it. We like to keep things interesting. Or I think Amanda just gets annoyed when I ask so I have stopped asking. I will try to peer over and read what she is writing... that doesn't work either! Library partitions sure are efficient at maintaining your privacy. Anyway, things are awesome and here are 10 reasons why:

  1. My bike is amazing and named her My Pony,
  2. Amanda is a stupendous traveling partner, mostly because her sunglasses change color in sun and shade and her helmet hair never ceases to amaze me,
  3. Canadians are still awesome,
  4. Our legs are so dirty we look like we've been in Cancun the last week,
  5. Amanda can't finish any of her food so that means more for me,
  6. My shirt matches my earrings which match my pants which match my socks which match my grip tape,
  7. This internet time is free,
  8. Despite the incredibley loud and long horn, that logging truck didn't hit me and thanks to Amanda's cat-like reflexes, she was successfully able to avoid running into that dumb lady that pulled out in front of her,
  9. Sleeping bag dance parties to Justin Timberlake in the morning make anyday a great one, and
  10. I think I get to eat again really soon.
We are headed to McDonald Provincial Park tonight, about 20 miles away from where we are right now. Amanda and I have already gone 35 miles today and its not even 1 pm. This, my friends, is a new personal best. We plan on heading back to the U.S. tomorrow via ferry from Sidney B.C. to Anacortes. Then it's 101 all the way to Mexico! Hurray!
p.s. we still have not showered...

Christina - I am enjoying your writing immensely! No pictures are necessary. I can picture it all, and it's a little harrowing!
Thanks for doing this.
Love, Cindy
