Time with good friends

Troy and Teri arrived yesterday, and it's been a grand ol'time so far.  We had a leisurely dinner and caught up on all the gossip.  Heard about their time spent in Florida, Texas and Death Valley.  Sounds pretty hot and fun!

Today, we hit the REI sale and bought me a mountain bike!  Now, I can fly down the trails with Emil.  Or try to keep up with him.  Or at least ride in the same car to the trailhead.

My new sweet ride will arrive on Friday!

A visit to Bend with friends is not complete without a trip to Brother Jon's Public House.  Kristen greeted us warmly like old pals, and I will never stray again from ordering the Captain Jack Sparrow with fries.  It never lets me down.
