Sunday: January 31st
These last few days have had such amazing weather! Sunday was Allie’s birthday and it was about sixty-five degrees on January 31st! Christian and I went out to pick up our weekly vegetables from the Living Roots Ecovillage. There were different squashes, sweet potatoes and lots of fresh greens. Allie, Yen, Christian, Li and I all got ready to head into Bloomington for a night in the city! While we were getting ready drama reeked havoc throughout the house. To escape, Allie, Christian and I went to the roof to soak in the sun and decompress. Finally, we were heading to Bloomington.
We shared stories and music on our car ride. When we got to
Bloomington we were all starving and went to a Thai restaurant. Christian did
some research and realized it was highly ranked by an authentic Thai food
association. The food was some of the best Thai food I have ever had. We
ordered spring rolls, pad Thai, tofu fried rice with lime and cucumber and
green curry. We shared everything and did not have a single complaint. We left
the restaurant and began wondering around the city. We went into different stores,
which ended up being way more fun than it should have.
We saw some socks that had a lumberjack cutting down a tree
that read “F*ck This Sh*t.” I don’t think any of us would have thought these
socks were that funny until we had been chopping down trees and logging them
for days. Li was fascinated with these finger hand toys. Actually he was
fascinated with everything and wanted Yen to buy him something in every store we
went. I bought Allie a cute button to match the other ones on her backpack as a
small birthday present. She said she had a different but awesome birthday.
By the time we got home we were all pretty pooped. It was a
nice day off and I am grateful for the time we shared away from the hostel.
Normally I would say I need to get out of the city but we all needed to get
into a city and be around more people than our housemates. Its interesting how
quickly our wants and needs change. Getting into the city definitely made me
miss Portland and everyone inside of that beautiful city.
