My adventures have officially begun now. Yesterday I had a successful shopping day - got a really comfy sleeping pad at REI, some new walking/trail shoes, and a few other things. Debbie was in Bend for work yesterday, so she, Cidney and I got together for the evening. Had yummy Thai food at Toomies in downtown Bend. Debbie was staying at the Mcmennamin's St Francis, which has a hot soaking pool, so we went for a soak after dinner - and got busted. Turns out hotel guests can't bring guests into the soaking pool - Cidney and I should have paid the $5 public entry fee. Oops! But it was fun - and just what my feet needed after a long day trekking around stores. Why is shopping so much more tiring on your feet than hiking?
This morning I had a real adventure. At Cidney's I went out to my car to get a few things and her front door locked behind me. So there I am, no purse, no money, no cell phone, wet hair, and it's chilly. What to do? Well, luckily my computer was in my Jeep, so I fired it up and one of her neighbors has an unencrypted wifi connection. I emailed Cidney, then googled ODOT where she works, found my way to her office, and wandered a bit annoying random people asking for Cidney til I found her and got her key. What a start to the day!
Now I just finished a yummy piece of quiche back at the Sparrow Bakery. Time to go get my Jeep's oil changed before I get too far off the beaten path.
