If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

Urban Dare

Saturday Jared and I hopped on BART (so much slower, louder and not as smooth as Swiss trains) and headed to S.F. to do Urban Dare. It's a series of trivia questions that lead you around the city to either a Dare or a place where you have to take a photo to prove you were there. I had the perfect teammate.





This guy was there also. Dean Karnazes. He's the guy who did 50 marathons in 50 states. He was doing this with his son. If we hadn't stopped for pizza at Blondies then we would have beat him. (We weren't really trying too hard to win.)


Here is Jared doing one of the dares. It was pretty easy.



Setting off to our next stop.




For one of the dares I had to find bubble gum in a pile of whipped cream and chew it and blow a bubble.



It's harder than it looks. You try it.


Overall we walked/ran about 6 miles. We ran into one of Jared's old buddies from Google and we joined their team. We were pretty lackadaisical about finishing. At the end we had to do a puzzle in a pub. WE were pretty disappointed that the dares weren't more challenging but it was a fun activity and we got some great exercise and got to see most of the city.

Yay, Ravensburger! We went to Ravensburg this summer and spent a day at Ravensburger Spieleland amusement park. They had cut-price puzzles at an outlet store there and we bought a couple. :-)

That is so fun! I've never heard of that, but now you've got me wanting to look into that around here.
