Day 3

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo.

We went to the zoo.

IT WAS AWESOME.

Some lady gave us juice to feed to these birds, and we got scared by a too-close leopard, then there was a bored tiger, and a fat and loud hippo, and a super dooper fast penguin (that I couldn't get a shot of becuase he was super-dooper fast) and then we watched a polar bear play for hours and hours.

Lunch was spent at the Oregon College of Art & Craft, where I wanted to buy everything that had NFS written on it - unfortunately. There was also a crudely made gold ring that was a thousand dollars. Sheesh.

We headed out after that to the Japanese Garden, which was really pretty, and then spent the rest of the day shopping.

Look at the pictures!

I got a raincoat, which was the goal.

And two pairs of shoes. One of them is super nice though, and when I bought it, I found out that the guy who worked in the store, his dad was from Winnipeg, and he's a huge hockey fan, so we talked about that for a while.

And the weather was BEAUTIFUL! I was hot in just a thin sweater - not a cloud in the sky!

Road trip starts tomorrow. I'm really HOPING that I have internet, but if not, things may be delayed until we get to Nate's parents' house on Friday. We shall see. I'll keep you posted - if I can.

In other news, the prof that I TA for has just come down with double-lung pneumonia and asked if I could run the lecture this week - too bad I'm on the other side of the country. That sucks.
