the road north

So we just drove up to Prince Rupert in British Columbia, from Muir Beach in California. It took about five days. We hung out at our friend Tori's cabin, went on a beer hunt (like an easter egg hunt, but with beer) played with a see-saw on the beach, and got in a sea weed fight.

The next night we stayed in Eugene, Oregon which was uneventful, just a place to stop. The next day we had lunch with our buddy and fellow couchsurfer, Jason, who we met in Florida, but now lives in Portland. Portland seems like a way cool city, and we'll make sure to spend a few days there on the way back down from Alaska.

By that evening we were in Seattle, visiting our buddies Andrea & Jeff (also a Florida couchsurfer). We went square dancing at a place called Tractor. It was a blast, unfortunately we didn't get pictures. We spent the whole next day checking out the city, the Pike Place Market was pretty cool. And the next morning it was time to get back on the road.

The next couple days were spent driving all day, until we got here, to the end of the line. We did about 1,900 miles all together. Tomorrow we get on the ferry to Alaska, and start work. We saw nary a single moose, but tons of bald eagles, mountains, and waterfalls. The biggest difference between Canada and the U.S. is instead of spanish printed on everything, it's french.
