10th Aug ’12 Portland, Oregon to Centralia, Washington and Mt. St. Helens N.P. A quick trip to Walmart to pick up some lunch and we found ourselves in the middle of a small drama. The local care home minibus engine appeared to have caught fire, nobody appeared to be hurt but lots of people were standing around watching and then the fire engines screamed up. So after that bit of excitement we were off up to Highway 5 and the Mount St. Helens National Park. We stopped at the visitor centre where we saw a short film about the eruption in 1980. It was pretty amazing to see the side of the volcano start bulging, getting bigger and bigger, then the whole face of the mountain sliding down and the eruptions exploding out. This was all ... read more

Départ de Centralia a huit heures. Comme hier, la grosse pluie était au rendez-vous. Le plan êtait de suivre la rivière columbia et de suivre l'autoroute jusqu'a Twin Falls, Idaho. Twin Falls est juste après Boise pour ceux qui ont lus Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. En après midi, la température et le paysage ont changés souddainement, comme si quelqu'un avait allumé une lumière. Le soleil est sorti et nois avont passé de la forêt de la côte Ouest a un climat plus sec; beaucoup de sauge et d'éoliènes. Arrivés a Boise, je n'ai pas pu résister une visite chez Cabella's; 100 000 pieds carrés de paradis. Des animaux empaillés partout, des MILLIERS d'armes de toutes les sortes partout et pas derrière un comptoir. Non, non. Ils étaient sur des étagères a la portée ... read more

To our freinds and family, thank you for taking time to come visit with us. We wish we had more time in the evening to spend it individually with you all. Today we are starting our journey south. It is Tuesday morning and we are waking up at Heather's Parent's house in Centralia, WA. It's getting late in the morning and we're on our way out the door; or at least trying to. It was a great weekend and we're finally coming down from the hysteria of it all. Everything was about it was bitter sweet. I really enjoyed being with everybody at the beach and seeing family members at the reception that I haven't seen for a long while, but 'being in the moment' proved to be more difficult than I thought it was going ... read more

Bonjour!! This blog is for all our family and friends who want to follow along with my brother and my trip to France and Greece. We have just three days before we take off on our three week trip. The plan is to fly into Paris, where I will stay three days exploring. My brother will go off on his own to Briancon in the French Alps to go white water kayaking with his buddies. While my brother is gone I plan on seeing Paris and then traveling down to Hyeres, a small medieval town on the French Riviera. My brother and I will meet back in Paris on the 3rd of June to catch a flight to Greece. We plan on spending the last portion of our trip exploring the Greek islands before flying back ... read more
