Hoy fue un día vago, lo que quiere decir que hice poco más que deambular por la ciudad, ir al lago y tumbarme durante unas horas a observar las barcas y los hidroaviones. Además también se produjeron los siguientes acontecimientos: - Fui a una famoso restaurante estadounidense donde sirven dos pelotas de carne aplastadas entre tres panes a las que llaman Big Mac. - Pasear sin rumbo (esto no es el del todo cierto porque mi destino era el lago). - Toparme con el café Vitriola (que me había recomendado una de mis compañeras de mi habitación) y beberme el mejor [View Full Entry]

Gran desayuno continental "do it yourself" en el hostel, gofres, tortitas, huevos, fruta, brownie...ohhh! Demasiado! No podía ni caminar.... La primera tarea del día: coger el monorail en el centro e ir a la zona donde están los museos y la famosa torre "Space Needle". El primer lugar que visité fue el EMP (Experiencie de Music Project), algo así como el Museo de la Música, aquello era el paraíso, el nirvana!!! Una sala dedicada unicamente a Jimi Hendrix. Pasillos y pasillos, llenos de guitarras eléctricas, algunas de ellas destrozadas, homenajes a grupos molones, "laboratorios" insonorizados donde hacer el tonto con los [View Full Entry]

Amanece demasiado pronto, y hay demasiada luz...de repente me doy cuenta de que estoy durmiendo en un sofá de cuero rodeada de apartos electrónicos y recuerdo la idea del Couch Surfing...mi anfitrión se ha portado estupendamente bien, y a primera hora de la mañana me doy una ducha y me lleva a la playa de Seattle a desayunar un buen bollo chocolateado como a mí me gusta y una café con leche de 3 litros (como a ellos les gusta). La segunda parada la hacemos en las cascadas de Snoqualmie...damos un paseo con nuestras chanclas, jugándonos el tipo sobre rocas asesinas [View Full Entry]

Oh que agotador...! Comienza el día y es hora de volver a ponerse en marcha, despedir a los viejos aventureros y encontrarnos con algún que otro “nuevo loco”…desayunamos en el café al que hemos ido durante los últimos días, y como despedida engullimos huevos, bacon y tostadas, todo cubierto de una espesa capa de mantequilla grasienta (la misma de la que se deben alimentar las ballenas grises para no pasar frío). Despido a Kamo, Jorge y a Tofino (esto último es un lugar y los anteriores son personas, por si no había quedado claro anteriormente) con un sol espléndido y una [View Full Entry]

In ten days, I embark on my second epic tour of Europe: Deutschland, Czechia, 500 meters' worth of France, and perhaps 45 minutes of Austria. Three years ago, I visited an old friend and made several new friends. Now, my 8-year-old goddaughter and I will connect with all those old-new friends and will meet a high school classmate of my mother's as well. My friend's kids are older, so it'll be great to catch up with them and get to know them all over again. We're also taking my friend's daughter with us to Berlin. Sole guardian of two other-people's-kids, one [View Full Entry]

Så var vi i Seattle i et par dager. Ganske stor overgang fra New York! :) Byen var relativt liten, men ufattelig koselig! Vi bodde på et utrolig bra hotell i Belltown, ca 15 min spasertur fra sentrum. Selv om vi bare var her i 2 dager fikk vi allikevel med oss ganske masse, blant annet en stor parade i byen, tur med Monorail'en (den siste i verden som enda er i bruk) og spiste mye god frukt på markedet. Søndag ettermiddag kom Olaug og Torje som skal være med oss videre på turen sørover. [View Full Entry]

We got up and on the road to finish this trip up today, all we have left is the short hop from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA. We really had a great time on this trip, all the people, places, and family we got to visit, thanks one and all. The total milage we covered on the trip was 8,431 miles! Now what do we do next year :-) [View Full Entry]

This July has been a crazy month for David and I. As if preparing for two months in Europe was not enough, we have had one major event after another! Thankfully, we have survived all the chaos and are now looking forward to our grand adventure in only 5 days! Since graduation, I have been studying my head off: memorizing countless lab values, disease processes, and random medications; only to take my nursing boards and discover that all my hours studying had practically been spent in vain! My exam consisted of seventy-five of the most RANDOM questions ever conjured up. These [View Full Entry]

As we headed out today we realized as we were riding the coast it was slowing up down quite a bit, so we decided to work our way over to 5 to start pounding out some miles to get home on time. We are getting a bit tired and worn out but still able to do a 14 hour day in the saddle today. We had hoped to make it all the way home but decided to stop in Portland before one of us collapsed out of the saddle. Jack. [View Full Entry]

We got a late start today about 11:00 AM, after I was up till 4:00 AM talking with family and then downloading pictures off the cameras so we could shoot more pics today. We had planned on riding all the way to Coos Bay today but that is not to be. We only made it to Ft. Bragg and had to call it a day there due mostly to the fog that rolled in on Highway 1. Jack. Along the way we took a nice detour through the Avenue of the Giants, make sure your sound is on for the video [View Full Entry]
