Adventures in Oregon

So, Oregon's not terrible....The other night some of the kids here found a baby rabbit, so of course it was added to our menagerie (before the rabbit died we had a cat, a dog (if the chihuahua counts), a guinea pig, a bird, and a baby rabbit) . It was just a baby and was injured from the cat, so we tried to keep it alive. It made it through one night, much to everybody's surprise. But in our efforts to keep it alive, I got to bottle feed it. It was really cute.

Yesterday I rode Oregon's version of Salt Lake's Trax down to my best friend growing up's house. (That was an awkward contraction.) She has a baby now!! It was good visiting her little family. I was stuck at the station for a little while today. I got off at a different spot from where my Dad was planning on picking me up, and then my phone died, so I just waited for a looooong while. Before my phone died there was this guy walking around talking to people and I didn't feel like talking to him so I called some people, hoping that would deter him. It didn't. He tried to talk to me while I was on the phone with Heather. Haha oops. All well. But I loved going through Portland! The people there are so funny. They all smoke and do drugs and swear up a storm, but they also all ride their bikes everywhere and recycle. This state is the most liberal, environmentalist place I know. :) And of course the old buildings in Portland are beautiful.

Tomorrow's my last day in the States. :)
Oh ps, I also used up my chapstick today, which was sad, but not so sad because I have a new one. Thanks budala!!!

the reason why it's an awkward contraction is 1) it's not a contraction, it's possessive, and 2) you did it wrong. Have fun in Brazil! More pictures please.
