So Stefanie and I left a year ago today from Santa Cruz, it all seemed so crazy on the first day. The last hill riding up to the campground in Monterey seemed like it would never end, but it actually did turn out to be one of the bigger hills on the whole trip. Also we always felt embarrassed those first few days telling people where we were going because we had come so little distance, it seemed silly to say it. Here's a picture of our bikes at the dentist, they're so clean!

Spring Is Here!
Spring was here at least, last week was really sunny and I went for my first bike ride in a long time and found out that my brake pads were kind of disintegrating, makes sense I guess it's been a year and 4000 miles.
I work at the census now, I am also still working at the bookstore one or two days a week. Today was my second day of census training and next week I will start actually counting people. The training is mostly waiting and having stuff read at us but everyone seems pretty nice.
Also I got a library card which is amazing. Here is a picture of the Brooklyn Main Library:

Journey to the end of Staten Island
To celebrate Naomi quitting her job we took the Staten Island Railroad all the way to the end of the line and then walked around until we found a beach. There were a lot of crazy houses a lot of which looked like boats, also for some reason everyone in Staten Island loves St. Patrick's Day! I should have taken a picture of some of the decorations but I couldn't decide which ones. The beach was kinda gross and even if it was a bit hotter I don't think we would have wanted to go swimming but it had a lot of nice shells. Tuesday and yesterday have been the first really-feels-like-spring days, it feels great!
The beach was in Tottenville at the South-West end of Staten Island.
There was a giant gazebo and a great view of New Jersey!

To celebrate pi day I made a pie and so did a lot of other people, they were all delicious!
My vegan butternut squash pie, gluten free so Pam could eat it!
Andrea works on a ginger pear tart.
A few of the pies...Blueberry tart, spinach/cheese quiche, corn quiche, vegetable pot pie?
