The Oasis


Wow. I've never been so happy as I was at 1:30 on Saturday. At around mile 12 of our 20 mile walk, there it was: Liz's parents house.

The "moderate" incline to get to this Oasis was about as moderate as John McCain- which is to say, not moderate at all. But it was well worth the short hike.
A bathroom, water, Gatorade, sunscreen, and more awaited us. Let's talk for a moment about the spread: hummus, bread, olives, pita chips, fruit salad, sandwich fixins'. It was pure heaven.
Thank you so much Laura Stone and Ezra Levine.

Getting back on the road was another story, but somehow we managed to pry ourselves away. Once again, my post-walk state makes me an evangelist for those special blister band-aids. I love them!

"What's a pasta band-aid?"

Pasta band-aids are very, very rare, but very effective. Especially when brought by supportive boyfriends.

It's true. Pasta bands-aids are very rare. Fortunately, the Discovery Channel has never before seen footage of the creature.
