So I have always been eager to try riding a tandem with the impression that then C could do all the work towing me up the hill and I could just gleefully pedal along. Sadly, it was still a lot of work and going downhill was extremely scary since I had no idea where we were going but I really liked it overall. I think it was a little easier than if I had been on my own bike but not sure. C didn't like how slow we were going up hills I could tell. Now if I can only navigate from the back, we'll be set. We toured all of Lopez island which is very popular with cyclists since it's mostly flat (though not as flat as I thought it would be). I did manage to take some pictures from the back using one hand (and C's camera - he was really nervous)
The tandem we rented:

Gorgeous viewpoint in a brief moment of sunniness:
We stayed one night in Seattle and met up with J/J for dinner who were also in Seattle for the week and had a really nice and messy seafood dinner. Afterwards, we showed them our hotel room at the Hotel Andra which is really as awesome as the reviews said (they upgraded us to a suite for free!). Of note was the $60 bottle of oxygen they had for sale in the bathroom. I don't get it.
