But I hope I can make up for it, as in a way, this one will sort of be the grand finale of my taco truck tours. In late March 2010, my wife and I will be <a href=\"http:\/\/cyrusfarivar.com\/blog\/?p=2910\">moving<\/a> to Bonn, Germany &#8212; where there is sadly, a great dearth of taco trucks. I&#8217;ll do my best to update the blog remotely as best as I can. <\/p>\n<p>So why would I forsake my beloved <i>tierra de tacos<\/i>? I&#8217;ve just taken a job at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw-world.de\/dw\/0,,266,00.html\">Deutsche Welle English<\/a> (German public radio), where I&#8217;ll be the new host of Spectrum, a weekly science and technology show. (Maybe I&#8217;ll organize a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=D\u00f6ner_kebab\">d\u00f6ner kebab<\/a> bike ride or something over there.) If any folks are interested in organizing future rides here in Oakland, let me know, and I&#8217;ll put you guys in touch. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to all who&#8217;ve come out for the previous two rides and have made them as fun and delicious as possible! <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the itinerary:<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, February 20, 2010<\/p>\n<p>Meet: 11:00 am at Fruitvale BART (Oakland)<\/p>\n<p>1.

Tacos Guadalajara &#8211; 10th St. &#038; Fruitvale Ave.<\/p>\n<p>This should all be wrapped up around 4 pm, but as with the previous rides, feel free to arrive\/depart as you please.<\/p>\n<p>5. (Bonus) Cinco de Mayo Ice Cream &#8211; 3340 E 12th St &#038; 33rd Ave.<br \/>\n6. (Bonus) The Trappist &#8211; 460 8th St (&#038; Broadway)<\/p>\n<p>Bring: Bike, helmet, camera, $10-15 for tacos, maybe $5-$10 for ice cream\/beer. <\/p>\n<p>RSVP: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/event.php?eid=273891291454&#038;ref=mf\">Facebook event page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If even half of the 115 people that have RSVPed as of now show up, this will be the largest taco truck ride to date and we&#8217;ll definitely need to go in shifts so we don&#8217;t totally overwhelm the taqueros.
