The Flying Dutchman & The Rambler

We're back! We had a great time in Portland and California (there'll be a shutterfly album for those interested in wedding pics). We had a great time at the wedding, though we both got a little sunburned during the river tubing. Bizarre burns, too, all splotchy and random. Don't forget to check the expiration date on your sunblock, kids!

Anyway, we celebrated our return by buying our very own ugly, used, one-speed bicycles. Actually, Rob bought two. The first time we rode off from the store, we got about a mile away when his pedal fell off. After carefully working back to the store (there was a missing bolt, so he had to push the pedal on, pedal a few times, and then kick the pedal back into place, which is tricky enough without worrying about getting flattened by traffic and trams), the seller tried to fix it, but said it would be easier to just get another one... Nice bikes, no?
