Woke up on Saturday with a slight pinch in my back... must've slept a little funny the night prior... a hot shower and some stretching took care of the bulk of the problem in fairly short order.

Had a lovely day meandering about, looking for proper goodies to put in the apartment, sniffing at teak and rattan-type stuff. Saw a few things that had some potential, and a truly grotesque table that was also a drum made from zebra skin (and legs made from the hooves) which will give the more sensitive folk nightmares for weeks.

As always, we got a lot of good gab-time in, and I always enjoy a day's worth of social-time.

After doing some legwork, we swung by Tijuana Taxi, and the food was jim-dandy. The place was basically a Mexican version of Crabby Jack's - with better food. I'll certainly be back. (I've got 2 additional good reasons to swing by there, it's near both Danny's house and Tina's.) Since the refried beans were made with lard, I had the chile-cheese smashed potatoes, and they were tasty, though it took a moment to get used to the idea of mashed potatoes with a south of the border flair. I think I'll have to get something a little lighter next time, because the veggie Chimichanga was just too much after an appetizer.

When we finished, I took the BCT home... route 2 to the West Terminal, Route 22 to Central, and Route 10 right on home. I ate so much, I was *still* feeling a bit overfed 2 hours later.

The bus ride was nice, too... the rain started to pound down, coming in sheets to the point where I couldn't see more than 25 feet in any direction. Thankfully, the terminals are well covered against the elements. (most street stops aren't so blessed.) By the time I got home, the streets were clean, but the skies had fairly dried up, for the final walking-leg home.
