Part 3, the long journey home...

So we're on the bus and waiting for the others. Since Matt and I aren't THAT enthused about the tulips, we are like the 3rd ones on the bus. And we wait as others slowly get on the bus until we are one passenger short. You guessed it, delinquinttourist has not joined us yet. We wait. We wait. The old folks on the bus get restless and start voicing that we should leave her. The driver and randomhatguy go looking for her. Again, like these two would know her from any of the other throngs of tourists?? They come back and the old folks continue voicing that we should leave her and to Matt's and my surprise, we do leave her! Wer both are a little startled at this. It is the middle of nowhere, 53 miles from Seattle. We just left this lady?! That was a little crazy to me. On the trip back, we get the full attention of tourguidelinda. Oh lucky us. There was the horrifying story about how she dislocated her hip in the shower while shaving her legs. It took 5 firefighters to take apart the shower door and get her out. All the old people cheered her on and were laughing and being 'suggestive.' There was the little chuckle about the video she had to show and we could fall asleep during the video... way to advertise your own company there tourguidelinda. Especially since we could buy the videos... We also got little jokes about Chris (the driver) sleeping... it was so bad. Never before was I glad to get to Seattle. Matt actually gave her a 1 on her evaluation! I was stunned. 3 was as low as I could go... of course that was before the hip story.

Hmm... where to go next? :)
