... out that it was just the hunger striking again as I was entering my 47th consecutive hour without solids. Still, for a moment there, I actually felt human.

It's a bit strange being a solo traveller again but the same amount of people are laughing at my gags so a sense of familiarity remains, although I suddenly find that I have to pay for petrol. And it's not like ...

We flew from SF to Seattle to pick up the bikes. It wasn't the greatest weather to ride in, a bit rainy and cold, but we went over some great mountains. We managed to get about 400km done and quite far east. We wanted to get away from the bad weather as quick as possible.

On Sa**************ed south along the Columbia River, past irrigated orchards of apples, cherries, potatoes (?), grapes. Arrived in Tri-Cities, set up camp in Hood Park (Army Corps of Engineers) where Snake and Yakima rivers join the Columbia.
Today we visited Ice Harbor Lock & Dam, saw huge salmon and carp move through the fish ladder on their way upriver. Had ...

... do while Chris was working. I ran a couple loads of laundry, then packed up the vehicle (quite a workout, considering the laundry facilities were at the basement level, our room was on the second floor, and the car was in between). We decided to drive back through Vancouver, in part because the drive up was so lovely, and also because it was a bit shorter. We stopped in Squamish for sodas, bypassed downtown Vancouver to avoid ...

Well...
We set out about 11AM yesterday, but Jess realized we forgot our National Park pass, we had to turn around at Hood River, and go all the way back to get it. Michelle met us in Cascade Locks, which saved us a little time, and two dollars to cross the bridge. Then, we were off for real this time. We drove all the way to Umatilla before we stopped for ...

... the place that all the wagon trains met before heading off to points further west so the town was full of bordellos and taverns. It sounds like it would have been quite the place back then. Sunday, I'm going to start heading further north. I'll probably spend the night in Couer d'Alene and then meet up with mom, Bev, Punk and Phil at Glacier on Monday. I hope everyone is doing well! Pictures are coming soon!

... bag and pad and those two items pretty near filled it up on their own. I think I will take them out for now, fill the bag up with my clothes and stuff, then pack the sleeping bag and pad separately with a few bungee cords so that I can attach them to my backpack when I arrive in Bangkok. Anyway, I will be leaving in a day and 7 hours and 45 minutes!

Got to do a youth drama workshop weekend. Lots of fun, except for the getting sick part. We got a great contact for the following week and came back to do a Palm Sunday program the following weekend. I was excited to do a singlet called "Action Beyond Reason" the play talks about the confusion from the position ...

Arriving to Walla Walla today was an easy 4 plus hours drive from Seattle. The weather seems to have cooled down from the over 90* I heard it was. I checked into a super cute newly renovated home downtown called Cherry Cottage. I have WiFi access and all the movies in Hi-DEF on the nice flat screen. The beds feel really comfortable. After checking in from the lock box, I went out to the airport to visit with some wineries. I had my old favorites from Dunham ...
