Auburn

 Continuing on the southern version of the Interurban trail, meeting few other travelers, though still a lot less fun in the rain, I then turn off and head into the town of Auburn suddenly looking so much more swanky and nouveau riche than I ever remember -- though a weird conjunction of working class and elegance like the gigantic crow sculpture eating french fries outside the library!:


& inside the Auburn Library (#24!) here's Shawn and Steven and especially Jonna...cool wall art too


& flamboyant curlicues coming off the ceiling


But so, I was counting on sun or at least only clouds so I quit for the day -- not gonna make it halfway through the KCLS countdown -- and find it pretty difficult enough to negotiate through town with all the sidewalks and roads blocked off for construction etc. to transit station and hey!, here's a big plush metro bus going downtown with hardly anyone on it, and then good ol' #5 leaving downtown soon after I arrive...can u believe it? Of course it takes forever but I guess that 'proves' how far I had been biking.....!
