... by friends, Jason and Silver, Clooe prevented us
from sliding too far into the abyss of laziness and cheered us when we
needed a boost.

As our time here comes to a close (we plan to depart on a rambling journey back east tomorrow morning), I'm sad to say goodbye to friends and the stability of a home base, but excited by the prospect of seeing more of our country's natural beauty. Yes, new adventures await!

... out the other side and back on US-12.

Footnote: Lewiston, ID deserves a return visit as we went through the "Old Town" last evening and it is so heavily treed that the canopy of the trees hangs over the street from both sides and creates a very nice shaded promenade. Also there is a lot of interesting shops and eating places. We need to add Dayton and Walla Walla to this list for a return. But the time to visit is either early ...

... lake views, an abundance of pesky mosquitos, and stops along the side of the road for car-sick me, as we descended out of the Park. We proceeded to Salem, where we spent a week with friends and where we plan to return for the month of July (more later). A day trip to Silver Falls State Park was a nice outing and yielded some good photos.

... 192 countries that are undisputed that still leaves
many areas of the world that do not enjoy such luxury. I am certain
they will continue to fight about it until long after my expiration.
Just as certain in fact as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow and
wool is itchy and uncomfortable.

Courtney and I have decided to
set off across these lines virtually wherever we can find them. We have
every intention of traversing these from one to the next for ...

... we headed past Geraldineville...okay, the "G" really stands for Garibaldi....but I think there's a chance they got it wrong. And then the weather really kicked into gear. We were all of a sudden in 75 mph winds, the sun was hidden behind the ominous clouds and our '79 wipers couldn't seem to keep up with the amount of water ...

... folks here don't know how good they have it until they've tried to get daily life accomplished in other counties. Occasionally we found customer service abroad to be horrendously rude and confrontational, but sometimes (especially in Eastern Europe) we felt like we were an imposition to a salesperson by wanting to buy something. Though hard to put into words, we missed the customer service part of American culture, where things are done efficiently with a customer's time ...

... etc... I continue to check on reimbursement from my travel insurance for the eye surgery but that doesn't look promising. I've also been sending the details of the incident when I got hit in the eye to law firms in the UK, but none say they can handle such a case (the international aspect of it makes it difficult). My storage unit is full of junk and I need to figure out some way to sell it or get rid of it. A garage sale would be good, but it's not the right time of the ...

... all over. (sigh) Carcassonne and Mont St Michel in France both had cool, medieval old towns. The Belgian chocolates, Leffe Blonde (beer) and the city of Brugges were highlights of Belgium. I really like Europe and would go back in a heartbeat. Egypt was both good and bad. Cairo is probably my least favorite city I visited. Too busy, too polluted and everybody was out to scam you. Seeing the pyramids and places like Abu Simbel were really cool. The felucca ride on ...
