This weekend I went to Seattle to visit my friend Jeff from middle school, nice and relaxing. I had dinner with Aimee's family, then we drove back up in the pouring rain, which sucked.

The other day I went for another hike (8.5-10 miles), then on the way home realized I really wanted to go the library, but only had half an hour and another mile and a half at least, so I started running, which all the joggers and bikers on the trail with me thought was strange since I was wearing hiking boots and a big pack. But I made it to the library with 10 minutes to spare!

Cool, iTunes is selling some music DRM free! Cool, Google will print pictures and emails for free! (Should I feel like a corporate whore?)

Pictures from Victoria!

We missed our ferry by literally 2 minutes, but it was ok because there was another one 2 hours later.


Nina took us to her favored establishment, Big Bad John's, where the bartenders wear overalls and bras hang from the ceiling.


Kari sold her bra for C$50 to some wasted businessmen. Nina and Dani stole it back later, after the guys left.


Emo wove a garland out of weeds.


Dani and I went to Craigdarroch Castle for our tourist needs.


Furnishings and decorations "recreated" 1890s life in the castle.


Afterwards, Dani and I had a mini photo-shoot on the daisy-covered back lawn.


The hostel website told us this room was big enough to have a dance party to Bjork.
