Look! On the interstate! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's.....it's......it's.....

The WOOF!mobile!

That's right ladies and gents, I know you simply can't believe what you're seeing, but this big bad bruiser is the newest model in the line of peta2 tour vehicles. :) Ain't she a beauty indeed?

Thanks to some of our fabulous members (who offer up the most wonderful of items as donations for us) we are now navigating our way across the country alongside the Mayhem Festival in this piece of automobile artwork! So if you plan on attending the Mayhem Fest when it hits your town, be on the lookout for us pulling up in style.

And, for those unlucky souls missing out on the tour this summer, pull up a lawnchair alongside your nearest interstate highway and give us a great big wave and a smile as we roll on down the road—that's our favorite! This thing has already been a hit with fellow motorists offering up plenty of compliments; we can't wait to see all your eyes bug out when you see her in real life as well!

WOOF!

peta2 in Egypt! May 28, 2008

Here at peta2, we work hard, and we play hard.

For me, that means using my precious vacation time wisely, and really clearing my head for a bit.

That's why I decided to take 2 weeks this spring, and travel to Egypt. I have always wanted to go, and with the semester wrapping up for most college students that I work with, the timing was perfect!

It's worth noting that I don't speak a word of Arabic (the national language), but even still, being vegan in Egypt was easier than you might think! In fact, many of the traditional dishes, such as ta'amiya (known elsewhere as "falafel"), are already animal-free!

One dish I was particularly fond of was called kushari, which is a delicious snack made up of lentils, chickpeas, macaroni, fried onions, garlic, and tomato sauce, served with warm pita bread. Scrum-diddilly-umptious!


Yes indeed, it was a thoroughly enjoyable break. Needless to say though, even when I'm half-way around the world, I'm still not a douche. :)
