Sadly left SF
... , and the real work begins. The trip was quite uneventful. Drove pass mount Shasta. I have stopped in Corvallis, OR to see my friend Kirsten, and postpone starting my new life, nervous about what that may ...
Bear with me.
We're at my old friend Don King's house eating, drinking and playing music. It's an Urchin reunion on the left coast. Too much time to relive to spend downloading pictures and writing the blog as I haven't seen him in 25 years or so. The ...

Home Sweet Home
My summer excursion has finally come to an end and I'm now back in the little sleepy summer burg of Corvallis. The flights were long, but nothing surpasses that feeling of walking through the arrival gates in Portland International and seeing my mom, dad, ...
A Dedication to Barclay and Perci
Over the past three years both of my dogs have died. I chose to have them cremated, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. They loved traveling, so we've brought their remains with us and leave a bit of their dust where ever we go. Sometimes into the sea and ...
Chimeranda the Pretender
It's July, I've done my research and I've decided I want a Class B moterhome. I go to Guarentee RV in Eugene OHHH I'm getting the slimy, leering used car attitude. This is so not the experience I want. So I decide instead I'll look at a truck camper ...
Chimeranda a spicy, sweet sauce
The truck camper is back to Sutton RV, they gave me all my money back and in it's place are the coolest wheels in town. Our 23 ft Airstream is silver and blue with huge windows. Inside it feels like sunshine even on the cloudiest day. Now it ...

As Summer ends Summer begins
So this summer is coming to a close for Angela and I. However, we are trading the Corvallis summer for a Paraguayan, 100+ everyday, summer. This summer was action packed with fun and excitement. We tried to balance seeing as many people as we could and ...
Finally on our Way
32 more days to go. yeah! After a year and a half planning ( and a one week delay) we finally got to start our craziest adventure ever. Got to leave our house at 12:17PM, with dark dreary clouds. We were in cloud burst galore. 200 miles ...
Oregon State!
... to have been matched with a young professor I get along so well with. The area offers tons of great outdoor activities, and Corvallis is actually a much smaller town than I expected, so its quiet, but still has variety. Unlike California, its ...
Dimple Hill - Not so cute!
... miles over the course of the day with my full backpack. I had scoped out several courses and decided on Dimple Hill, north of Corvallis. The website said the loop was 7.5 miles with some elevation changes - I didn't read the fine print - and I planned to ...
Store ankomst-dag
... Mens jeg var i Salt Lake City skrev jeg med Nicole, som er en af pigerne som jeg skal bo med, og hun bookede mig på en bus mod Corvallis fra lufthavnen til kl 14.45. Så var der da styr på det. Da jeg havde været så tidligt oppe var jeg ret træt, ...
Transitions: Endings
... people and help Earth, both the same in my mind. Oregon was great in many different respects. Sara recommended the Veggie House in Corvallis. The co-housing unit was an all vegetarian, no meat, no cod liver oil, and on occasion the talk of meat got ...

The Other Coast
We left the Seattle area and drove to Corvallis. After going down the wrong highway for about 30 minutes (we wondered why we were still seeing mountains to our west) we got on the right track and followed Hwy 101 down the coast. It was here that we got ...
Week 14 - Nicholls State at Oregon State
... Jason's friend John joined him for the game. Rain was in the forecast, and it rained some on our way from Portland to Corvallis. The game itself was mostly rain-free, though, and it turned out to be decent weather for the game. Time for the ...
Corvallis
... local wineries but lethargy overtook us and instead Sylvan took the car for an oil change and we went for lunch downtown. Corvallis is a pretty little city and the area has a lot to offer since Oregon State University is here. Everyone is a ...
Dokument check-in og Fred Meyer Night
Onsdag skulle alle de internationale studerende lave "check-in" for deres visa papirer og sundheds papirer. Line, Signe og jeg havde besluttet at gøre det fra morgenen af så det var overstået selvom man havde det meste af dagen til at få det klaret. ...
Den første weekend
Fredag blev brugt på hygge og på at pleje tømmermændene. Det var heldigvis godt vejr, så Line, Signe og jeg valgte at lægge os på plænen foran MU-bygningen på campus. Her lå vi og slappede af med blade og godter. Om aftenen så vi allesammen ...
