A Trip Over the Mountains
So, a week after we got back from Mexico, we packed up the car, tidied up the apartment, and drove over the mountains so that we could meet Rod’s band in Vancouver on Thursday morning. The drive went smoothly, the weather was gorgeous, we had a perfect trip.
Well, except for the alarming gas prices. For those of you thinking, $1.31 isn’t bad… that sign you see is in litres. So…$5.27 per gallon in BC a couple of days ago. I’m sure others have noticed the worried looks and commentary that I did last Wednesday at the gas pumps. It is now officially cheaper for me to ride the bus to school than it is to drive the 3.5 miles to work and park 5 days a week. So, I will be rethinking quite a few of my travel arrangements in order to be more sustainable, and affordable, this summer and into the fall. The bike is definitely coming out…and I hope I can make a train trip to Buffalo work, rather than a flight.
Here is Simone, trying not to freak out about it all.
