My journey has officially begun! Mom drove me to Derek and Rachel's house last night, and we said our goodbyes. I cried, she cried, Jessica cried. It was bound to happen. This morning at 3:45, Derek and I got up an hour later then we meant to, and drove to San Francisco at about 8000 miles an hour. I was to late despite all Derek's best speed racer moves. I had to pay a couple extra bucks, and everything is back on track. I am now officially exhausted, from my three hours of sleep, followed by about four hours of really bad nerves. I always find being nervous to be one of the most tiring activities in which I partake. Nerves are not as cool as giant tomato fights.
Speaking of giant tomato fights, I went to one of those on Sunday, and it was awesome. There is nothing like being pelted from all sides with smelly red Solanum lycopersicum. Afterward we went down to the Truckee and like the bright thing I am, I stepped on a piece of glass and sliced the bottom of my foot open. Anika said it was Sunday Karma, because I was involved in a giant awesome activity on a Sunday, but I think I would have stepped on the glass no matter what day it was, because thats just the way I am.
My free internet time is almost up, so I might write some more when I am in Chicago, or Amsterdam. Love you all!

We love you too! We were going to visit you last night, but you were almost on your way (i.e. we couldn't have made it to Loyalton by the time you left for Sacramento). I was bummed.
