Sat. 9-20-02

Yesterday we rode the bus to Yachats. But on the bus we had to transfer on, there was already a bike on the bike rack. Room for one more. The bus driver worried about puttin' 2 on the one rack w/ bungees, 'cause the man who made the thing was on the bus! But our other bus driver helped us & I prayed & all was good. I sang songs all the way here.

When we got here we checked out a motel that lady told us night be the cheapest, but the guy only had 2 bedrooms left- & they were 59 bucks. So we said thank u & started bikin' around lookin' for a spot to sleep. We couldn't. & so we decided, it was either head down 101 & look for a spot, or check out a motel again (the man had told us about another one to look at). It was gonna' be dark soon & we were a little frustrated or whatever, 'cause we didn't know what God was tellin' us to do. So we were tryin' to figure it out. Brett was mostly worried about our safety & I suddenly strongly felt like spendin' any amount of money didn't matter. So we decided to look at the Dublin House motel.

Brett walked in the office waiting patiently for the woman to finish dealing w/ the other people. & I sat outside, not so patiently. He waved me away, 'cause he wanted to say 1 person to get it cheapest. But a man who worked there, walked in & told the lady there were 2 of us (after Brett had said 1) while Brett was waitin' outside. They didn't think he heard them, so when he went back inside, the lady asked him again..."Okay, now did you say 1, or 2 people?"
Brett was like, "Well, there's 2 of us, but we sleep together, so I count it as one."
She said, "Okay. Well, I've got the perfect room for you." Starts tellin' him, stove, showers, fridge, t.v., kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Brett's thinkin' damn! I'm not tryin' to spend a hundred bucks! She says, "40 bucks."
"Oh that'd be perfect," he says. "We didn't make it as far as we should've & I'm on a real tight budget."
So he pays & comes to get me, 'cause I'm hidin' behind the pool area.

The room was like a ******* small apartment! We got settled & went to the grocery store to get some food to cook. Hot food! :) Yay! On our way out (we got noodles, tortillas & bananas), Brett asked this girl where we could score some bud. She had rode the bus w/us. She had some. Her & her friend saw we didn't have much money & they'd smoke us up for free. We walked w/them to this girl's house & then walked w/a bunch of kids to some woods & smoked about 3 or 4 bowls of nugget. On the way there, we see some graffiti on the street & find out one of the girls we're w/did it. Brett was happy!

So we got high, said thanks & returned to cook our food. Brett got pretty sick during the night, but he took some IB Profen & he's a little better today. Oh! & we got free coffee to make at the motel! We bought some breakfast this morning, ate, checked out & now we're leaving the beach after playin' music. I think we're on our way again.

We've reached Florence. We biked about, well, almost 30 miles so far. The scenery was the best so far. All along the ocean. Cloudless sky. Sea lions below. Big grassy hills like Scotland. The Pacific sparkled like snow sometimes! Not THAT bad of a bike ride. At one point while we rested, I got my period. Kinda' sux. My cramps are just startin' now, but they ain't so bad, 'cause I haven't eatin' any sweets. But I did have coffee! Oh well. Brett's still sick & he has athlete's foot, but he still bikes 30 miles w/out a complaint. Unlike me!
