i never knew..

what a wonderful world REI was. after discovering there was such a place as REI, it only took me 3 years and another state to make it there. I went last night with my friend, and it's such an amazing place!!
it's amusing that while there, i realized i needed 5 things i had never heard of before. like the wristband with a zipper where you can store keys and cash. totally needed that, and a pair of chaco flipflops, and some merrell shoes and a new nalgene bottle. and a cooking stove, and a daypack, and a sleeping bag.
when we checked out minutes before closing (we had been there an hour and a 1/2) the cashier began telling us about all the benefits of an REI membership... rentals for really cheap, on almost everything.
yes, i am excited about this.
if you remotely like the outdoors, i suggest you go. it's a whole new world. maybe you'll be as excited as me... but i doubt it. :)

REI = Really Exepensive Items

However....I have 2 pairs of Chaco flip flops and I will stand strong that they are worth every penny!
