Notes on the side

A few things we forgot to mention:

1. In Oregon, and parts of Northern California, we passed:
23 hitchhikers and countless crazy bike riders, riding up steep hills in groups with all of their camping gear strapped to their bikes and bodies. WHY?! WHY? Is that fun? We don't think the hitchhikers got very far because we saw the same ones something like 10 miles down the road from the first time we saw them-- maybe they smelled bad.

2. In case you are wondering who mainly writes this blog, given that we kind of switch back and forth between 1st and 3rd person, the answer is, we sit side by side and whenever someone has a good story she writes it. So it is definitely a group effort-- see if you can guess who writes which parts and which ones we really write together.

3. Hopefully you find this blog entertaining...but if not, we understand. Most people just do not get it. It's quit ok though because we constantly crack each other up.

4. We have seen some very interesting signage along the way, the best being "Victorian Treasures, We Do Taxes Right". Now what do you imagine this store being like? Really, we want to know.

5. We have enjoyed laughing over the district names in San Francisco. Our favorites being Cow Palace and Tenderloin. These are really the names, really.

6. Notes From the Car:
a. I dare you to find something you might need in it! For example, we were determined to drink wine, but could not find the opener. Yes, eventually we found it, but seriously.
b. The car now smells like homemade Kombucha. The bottles are sealed, no leaks in site, but smelly non the less.
c. The passenger is required to: drive with the computer on the lap whenever directions are needed. (Sabrina unfortunately, has a problem with this because of car sickness issues, so far, so good). Secondly, the passenger seat is filled with many items that might be needed by the driver at any moment, such as ipods, cameras, water, food, maps, etc...The passenger must also feed the driver whenever needed, with handfuls of trail mix, crackers and hummus and the occasional fork full of noodles.
