Greetings from Cincinnati.

Greetings from Cincinnati. It is 11:17. We were supposed to be in Raleigh at 4:34. What do you know. I woke up at 4am this morning to my phone alarm making a ruckus (this is the first time it’s actually worked – I missed quite a few classes and a final exam before I decided [...]

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. [...]

Random Adventures in Northwestern Washington.

We finally catch a bus to Anacortes, a tiny port town where a ferry is located that can take you to the San Juan Islands, a group of islands divided by the US/Canadian border. You can take the international ferry, which takes you through the islands straight to Victoria, B.C., or you can just take [...]

From Somewhere in Western Washington.

I am writing from a train station somewhere north of Seattle. We caught a bus around 7:24 this morning, rode about two hours north, and am now waiting for another bus that will take us to a ferry in Anacortes that will take us to the San Juan Islands, where we will spend the day [...]

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 [...]

Greetings from Seattle!

Greetings from Seattle! I write to you from the lounge of The Green Tortoise, a remarkably well-kept yet inexpensive hostel in the center of downtown Seattle. It’s located directly across from Pike Place Market.. you know, the place where the guys throw the fish. Common knowledge. As most of you know, I write when I [...]

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 [...]
