After traversing 580 miles of Spain, many joyful tears were shed at the first sight of sea…
…and then, there at the end of the world, the funniest thing happened…
…the winds of change picked up — and they wispered into my ear, “Fatima.”
And without a second thought, I turned South (instead of North). And now I find myself in hot pursuit of the backwards BLUE arrows that will guide me to Fatima, Portugal…
Where the legend still lives…
… and the mystery awaits my advance.
Hey! This is SO cool! I’m in the Portland Airport right now at one of those nifty empy-your-savings internet booths! BUT, as I was trying to figure out the rates, the machine pops at me “Card swiper out of service. Your session is free.”
Say it with me….”YIPEE!”
So why am I at the airport? Because I’m on my way to Australia!!!!
Can you believe it?
Neither can I!
Maybe because I’m….
lying. 
Okay. Really though, I found a last minute ticket to San Francisco for 70 bucks and am on my way to engage in a weekend rampage with four of my best college mates. I’m SOOO excited. And a photogallery documenting the wildness of the weekend will certainly be in the making….
So until next Tuesday, I’m offline and out loose on the SF scene!
Gotta go check in!
Ciao!

I ran my first half marathon today! I’m too exhausted to say much more about it except that after two hours of soaking in the hot tub I’m STILL a walking gimp. I wasn’t training for what they call a “rolling course” — which in real-people terms means “hills”. So I’m in just a slight amount of pain right now, which thankfully is overshadowed by the high I’m on for successfully running 13.1 miles, the longest these legs have ever carried a girl *so far*. And in exchange for crossing off one of the items on my “things to do before I’m 25″ list, I’ve added the following:
Hang-gliding
Get a Tattoo
Attend Burning Man
Charitable Work in Another Country
Hitchhike
Sunbathe @ a Nude Beach
Pilot a Plane
Kiss a Stranger Before Talking to Them
Solo Skydive
Ride a Motorcycle *alone*
Rappel
If ya have any other good suggestions for activities that should be added to the list, please shoot ‘em my way!
