Shopping with Joe.

Sweet bike assembly area at PDX!

And an amazing trip to insanely beautiful Hood River, Oregon for a wedding.

Got a box, borrowed a wrench to remove pedals which I will return in the morning by burying in some dirt near the store ... Ready to pack'er up!

Barcelona! Great bike paths here as the city becomes more and more bike friendly!

And found this gentle reminder upon climbing back out.

And then I got to Spain!

At the end of the day, I mistakenly went down a 12% grade for a kilometer or so. And found this beach, which basically forbids fun.

Climbed lots of PCH esque hills, and enjoyed compliments on my Spanish.

For a minute I thought I might like a Catholic burial here. What a view! But then I decided I still prefer to be cremated and turned into a reef ball.

Friend, foe, friend, foe... The wind on switchbacks.

My pantry has been whittled down to this! And I offloaded some adapters. Considering halving the tarp for the Pyranees!

When I was traveling with Sage, she always ate the final tomato slice or the last remnants of warm rubbery oily cheese no one wanted. Or ate leftover pasta the next morning with cinnamon and sugar. Now, it's all up to me. So this morning I took one for the team: a huge glass of local wine I really didn't want to waste. I thought Sage would be proud, and - vaguely buzzed with an entire cantaloupe, bread, avocado, tomato, coffee* and red wine in my belly -- I snapped this pic and set off for Spain. *Sage I've perfected cowboy coffee, and it's better than anything we ever made. I now think you should ditch your coffee filter for weight if you havent already!

See? (this little girl ate it 10 seconds after this photo was taken)
