Labor Day in Washington

We arrived in washington early monday morning. the train came up right along side the ocean. we saw seals and otters poking their heads out of the water and fishermen trying to catch their lunch. it is so beautiful out here! the past few days have been easy. we had a short animal walk monday around 11am and had the rest of the day off. i wandered around the city of everett with my friends and ended up at a bar that served $1.50 pabst blue ribbon beer and frozen tv dinners. :) i helped the bartender and her what looked to be 80 year old friend make jello shots for the following day. what a bar! tuesday i went into work for a few hours to muck out, feed and unload 8 wagon. we ate lunch at a great thai restaurant and had enough leftovers for dinner. i was home by noon and did 5 loads of laundry and slept most of the day. yesterday i had off. i hitched a ride to the mall and saw the movie "superbad"- and let me tell you, it was super funny. great movie- i highly reccommend it. i was in bed early last night. i have been feeling a little sick the past few days. i think i am catching a cold of some sort. i was on the 7am bus this morning because the horses had practice at 8:30. i'm back at the train now for a few hours until rehersal this afternoon. we have a pretty easy schedule this week. 1 show tonight, 1 tomorrow, 3 saturday, 2 sunday. then we take the long trip back down into california to stockton. then i get to go HOME!!!!!!! can you believe summer is over?
