Rob and I had been trying to sell our mini-van for over a year and he managed to do it while I was away. We want to be a one car household, so today I ventured forth, car-free. I ran errands on Tuesday with the help of a Flexcar, but the close cars are booked today. I could have picked up another, but since it was only a block away from my final destination I decided to just take the bus. Tri-met runs right in front of our house every fifteen minutes, so the trip was a piece of cake but–I have got to get a new bicycle. (You might recall that mine was stolen just before I went to Iceland.) The whole trip would have been much faster by bike.

Well, it’s certainly easy to get up in the morning. What’s with getting light so early? I’m having a bowl of cereal and have some things to add to my list of things that I miss about Iceland. I miss ab-mjolk, skyr, and müsli.
