got married. still one of our favorite hotels.
we drove thru a nice dust storm on our way
down and b-lined it to rosa's.

(for vacation) on thursday and rode the cross
bike our to gates pass to see how the knee was feeling.
i ordered up breakfast for the crew and split


on to uofa territory

back to the hotel


off to the pool



dinner at brooklyn pizza for some eggplant pizza
and some garlic knots. grubbin.

we got hammered by a monsoon storm around midnight.

and woke up before 6 am.

sammich with your feta?
i heart beyond bread

i stopped on my way back from beyond bread to get
some gatorade at walgreens. i picked-up some saliditos too.
the white skinned lady with a southern accent behind the counter asks,
Her: You like these things? (holding the saladitos)
Me: Love em.
Her: That's funny with me being from Europe and you being white and all.
eh?
