Day 12: From Idaho to Hood River, Oregon

---

I think I have my favorite town! Hood River, Oregon. In the north, bordering Washington, by the Columbia River, near Mt. Hood. A pretty small town with stores along the main road, by the river where surfer and kite surfer are enjoying the wind. They even have a little bar on an old pier. We had a couple of drinks there in the sun and watched the surfers.
In the evening the small town was a little too quiet, but we had trout for dinner (excellent). Since we didn't sleep much last night, we're going to bed early.
Tomorrow we plan to drive to the Oregon coast and enjoy a day at the beach at the Pacific Ocean! The first beach since Charleston.

Remember to check out the pictures at the German blog entries.
Later!
