holy crap i have 13 minutes to write something!
phew...
in honor of thomas wolfe and his aversion to reading long blogs (we can't do pics yet because we don't have a stupid digital camera, bogus... but we are working on that for sure), i think i will provide some top 5 lists:
top 5 things i love on this trip so far:
1. bombing huge hills... no brakes!
2. eating ice cream... no guilt! (it's no mocha chip, but it'll suffice, for now.)
3. looking so f-ing cool all the time... helmets and spandex!
4. canadians... the rumors are true!
5. the romantic walks on the beach with christanka.
top 5 things i hate on this trip so far:
1. the pain in my upper left shoulder blade that won't go away.
2. nervousness about the health of my vagina.
3. semi trucks on highways.
4. flat tires + shards of glass.
5. every time stanka denies my advances on our beach walks.
top 5 thoughts i think while riding:
1. "gonna make it, gonna make it..."
2. "ow ow ow ow"
3. justin timberlake songs
4. playing the pebble dodge game
5. "hello christina's ass!"
top 5 people we've met so far:
1. giovanni the mexican dude with the italian name who lives in vancouver but has carried a backpack everywhere you wish you could go. i wish we were still in a hitchhike vs. bike race with him.
2. thomas the desk guy at the cambie
3. the newfindland lady from denman island
4. the guy who rode next to us on a busy highway for about 5-10 minutes about an hour ago and freaked me out really bad. what the fuck is he thinking? (i'm glad he didn't die.)
5. all the 12 year olds who have jobs already in Canada. it's good for them.
We'll be in America tomorrow night!!!
Thank you everyone so much for the comments and encouragement... it's awesome to take these little breaks and get sweet little messages. Hopefully pics will be coming along shortly...

Not if the border patrol have anything to do with it! This is the Bushland, after all, and lefties who leave can't come back.
Cindy and I went to see "Vitus," and I'm feeling pretty sentimental, so I shall write no more for now. Wish you were here to go sailing with me.
Amanda! This is a little more exciting than any of imagined! Tell me some more of the mundane, way CALM stuff that is happening. You and Christina are excellent writers. You both leave me laughing and chuckling as I go about in my car looking for bikers to hassle!
Hope you had an excellent day today. I am easily picturing that you are from your descriptions.
Can you wear an ace bandage on your shoulder?
