Tour Blog: Seattle to Portland to home.

Seattle is one of of my favorite cities on the planet. Not that I’ve been to many places on the planet. But Seattle currently stands as a favorite regardless. In college, I would take my spring breaks and, instead of going to the beach or on a cruise like everyone else, I would go to [...]

Last Day in Seattle.

It’s our last day in Seattle. There is a lot left on our to-do list, since one of our days was taken up with camera/doctor hunts. I wake up and find Julian in a white astronaut suit and Logan in some sort of bright yellow plastic overall ensemble. I don’t ask questions and start packing. [...]

Whiskey Disaster.

I will describe the previous night up to the point where my memory fails me. After drinking 44oz. of local brews in the hostel lounge, we decided it was time to head back to 2nd street. A certain whiskey bar, named The Whiskey Bar, had caught our eye while we were searching for dinner. It’s [...]

Seattle Day 2.

Last night and tonight have been relatively uneventful, but fantastic nonetheless. Logan finally came into town yesterday. Noren and Lauren Lenney, two Washington friends who I spent time with last year, drove Log to the hostel, picked us up, took us out for pizza (me and Dakota just watched, because we ate free noodles at [...]

Our route extended eastward through Washington toward Spokane, then south, back through Oregon for a second, then into Idaho. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Washington terrain – western [...]

Tour Log: Portland to Seattle

6/4/2007 – Portland to Seattle So it felt great arriving in the northwest, but I had forgotten how much Seattle dominates any part of this region. Or.. well, I actually didn’t know for sure, since I had never really been anywhere besides Seattle, but I had a feeling it was the case. The city was [...]

Almost home.

Hello! This is the last bit of writing from the west coast. I rececntly just got back from rummaging around the bars and pubs in downtown Vancouver. Our trip to Canadia almost did not happen, since Julian left his birth certificate on his microwave last week, lost it, and forgot to search for it until [...]
