Seaside- Day Two Recap
We stayed strong and on the road for day 2's entirety. After a fifth sprinkler-related awakening, we prepared for the road outside, with a gorgeous Washington view surrounding us. Things looked grim when we started hitchhiking at the rest stop where we had slept, but after just the right amount of time, a very kind attorney scooped us up. First, he took us to a public zoo, where we saw deer, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cameltoes, and alpacas (yes, seriously). Then he took us where we thought would be the best hangout spot to find our next ride, where he promptly told us he had a better spot. He did. After a generous man named Craig Downing bought us a filling breakfast, the free-spirited Mo crushed us and drove us in her convertible Audi to Boise--our goal for the day. Mo hooked us up with Rowanna, a calculus teacher who bought us pizza and beer, both of which were much appreciated and enjoyed. But it was the ride from Holly and Richard, which Rowanna's hospitality ultimately led to, that excited Easy Seasy the most. We met Holly and Richard at a bar Rowanna recommended. We hope Holly and Richard are safe back home in Boise, because they were nice enough to spend all of last night driving us southeast to SLC. We slept, a little, last night (until...wait for it...another sprinkler incident), and are parked now at a city library, where inspiration or generosity will surely strike any second.

Kelly, Ben, and Alan,
So an attorney took you to the zoo...did he think you were escapees?
Hey Kelly, Ben, and Alan,
I'm so glad that Roanna gave you the grand tour of Boise and "The Lift" The 50 cent beers were good I'm sure. Have a great trip and if you find that piece of paper w/all e-mails/contact information, I'd love to get it.
Take good care of Swanny and thanks for keeping me company on my drive to Boise!
Take care and have fun... beware of the irrigation systems!
XXOO
