Today our life in sunny paradise came to an abrupt end as we climbed the mountains and saw the temperature drop by more than 20 degrees in a matter of less than an hour, followed by a heavy downpour of snow. Due to the fact that we winding up and down the mountains, we decided that we had better stop driving for the day, so we found a hotel in Yreka, CA to stay for the night. After checking in, we found a Mexican restaurant down the street where we enjoyed a nice meal and some margaritas with Leslie and the Lys. After finishing our margaritas, we found out that we each got a complimentary shot of tequila, which was presented in a ritual consisting of the waiter slamming the shot glass against a serving tray to make it fizz up, and then doing a strange high pitched yell/song afterward. This proved to be not the only great thing this waiter was capable of, as when we were paying for our meal, he gave Nate a pen to sign his check with that was actually not a real pen, but rather a novelty device that shocks your finger when you push down on the top. What a trickster! Anyway, after dinner, we watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox, played some charades, and went to sleep. Very fun night off.

Hey! A rainbow!
Hey! Some animals grazing in the sunlight!
Whoa whoa, wait a minute....
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Tequila shots fixed it all. Oh, hey Ramona and Chris.
