the drive from seattle to vancouver was really only supposed to take about 2 hours but for some reason it ended up taking about 6. its really difficult traveling with someone else and trying to coordinate schedules when youve already had a routine. we were told that before we made it to canada we had to buy some duty free liquour. we made about 6 stops then were over it, we ended up buying some booze across the border, bad, expensive decision. we arrived at tom and monicas around 7, we unwinded and had a few drinks, home brew style. since [View Full Entry]

today i woke up, got some coffee then dropped off my bike at the shop next door, i rode a little too hard the day before and broke a spoke in my bike, boo. around noon i had to go and pick up my mom from the sea-tac airport and then we headed into the city. my mom really wanted to see beefy men throwing big fish around and i wanted to see some local music, so we headed to pikes place. we enjoyed some yummy and fresh fish and chips at the market, then shopped a little. the market is [View Full Entry]

i left the aussies last night and drove to seattle to meet up with bridget for her birthday. we met up at a seedy bar called redwood in capitol hill, i felt right at home. this morning bridgey and i went on a bike ride to get coffee and breakfast. then ryan met up, we made some cookies and went on a ride around seattle. before we made it to golden gardens beach, bridge got a flat, luckily one of her friends rode by and patched her flat. we took some pictures and hung out on the beach for an hour [View Full Entry]

i left sunset bay today and started driving up the 5 towards eugene and portland. it was kinda nice to get off the 101 and go a normal speed on a familiar freeway. the umpqua river runs along the road on the way to the 5, a nice change of scenery. everything up here is so green, it rained off and on until i got up to portland. when i arrived, i checked into the hostel around 5 and jumped on my bike. i cruised around for about an hour then stopped at a bar to get a drink and wind [View Full Entry]

today i cruised out of sf and into the redwoods! i drove up the 101 to orick to camp on the beach. along the way i stopped at the drive thru tree and drove through the avenue of the giants, it was crazy. i have never seen trees so big before. i had a little picnic in the woods then headed back on the road to gold bluffs beach. i saw some elk grazing in the fields right before i entered the campsite, they were huge as well. i built a tent for the first time in about 5 years, i [View Full Entry]

today i went into the city and walked from the lower haight to upper haight, yet again another beautiful day! lindsay picked me up at buena vista park then we met up with tona and stephen for a drink and some shopping in the trippy haight. before going back downtown, lindsay took me through some more touristy spots, including lombard st. i would be really annoyed if i lived on that street, there was a 20 min wait to just go down the winding street. we met up with cody at h&m and did some more shopping then got a drink [View Full Entry]

i headed out around 1 on my bike from oakland into the city, with scissors, camera, and a bag of yummy fruits, nuts and snacks. i got off BART at the embarcadero and whipped out my handy dandy "jesus" phone (iphone), i decided to ride my bike into the richmond to visit stephen and his girlfriend tona. i misread my map and started heading through chinatown up california st, gnarly hills. before the last hill to the top, i stopped and checked my phones directions and i was going totally the wrong way. i wiped the sweat off my forehead [View Full Entry]

i left san luis obispo this morning around 10, and headed out on the 1 for oakland and sf. i had a wonderful drive through morro bay, san simeon, then up and around the cliffs of the 1 to big sur. i got out in big sur, stretched my legs, got some coffee, and met the most awesome older hippie dude, terry. terry has been a big sur native since the late 70s, i talked with him a little about surfing and what there was to do out in big sur. he gave me a few pieces of jade from around [View Full Entry]
