What's New

We leave in four days and I swear we will begin to blog profusely... starting now. Here is a synopsis of what is going on:

Today is RYD. It was glorious.

On Wednesday I dropped a giant bag of water balloons off at Whatcom Falls and watched a group of high school boys turn on each other. Also glorious.

Mitch got a tooth stuck in his head playing bucketball. Again, glorious.

We moved out of the apartment and into my parents. It was great to get packing out of the way.

This week we began to have success with couchsurfing. We have places in Prague, Appenzell, and Bern so far.

We sold the tandem back to the original owners for the original price. We loved it, but the cash is going to help make our trip happen.

We held a pantry auction and sold off all our extra food. We made $30. The most expensive item was some saffron (2$) and the least expensive was beef base (negative two British pence).

It's crazy, but I think we're ready. I really think we're ready!

We'll be in Berlin from the 2nd to the 12th. If you'll be close, come say hi!

I wish we'd bought the beef base for negative 2 British pence

Ew. That's totally a lie, Nicole.
