... some art things and kids play from one area to the next. It's been a nice way for her to meet new friends.<br><br>We traveled straight through to Oregon to pick up our fifth wheel. We were in Corvallis back where our cohousing community is and our condo. It was a bittersweet experience. Nice seeing people, very aware that some people either chose to ignore me, (not us) or gave dirty looks. The experience of the sound problem between my unit and the unit ...

... to be many neighborhoods of older homes perched on hillsides, with beautiful views of the city and port. And Steilacoom, which Kelsey mentioned, was SO picturesque. The entire town is on the National Register of Historic Places. Unfortunately there wasn't much going on there today, except for plenty of people taking the ferry (to where, and for what, we're not sure). Not far from Steilacoom is DuPont, the old factory town for a DuPont plant near here ...

... we ended up seeing some awesome landscape, cottages, tons of sail boats. The best part of all was Kat's eagerness to see a whale, she goes to the bathroom, and I SEE THE WHALE! Hahaha! I felt bad for her, but don't worry folks, we will see a whale and we will have pictures to show you. Unfortunately I didn't get a phot of the whale because I was ...

... shop half a block down''. It didn't take us long to decide that buying a car in USA was not such a good idea, bearing in mind how long we'd keep it and selling it at Los Angeles with that oil leak, however fatal. So it was a NO! Christine went round to the dealer and told him the situation. He was understanding and thanked us for letting him know. So a phone call had to be made .yes! Keven. It took him around 15 mins to get to us; between that time we sat in ...

... and make up the fare as they go. The more luggage you have, the more it will cost you!) Best bus ride: Student coach from Karlovy Vary, CZ to Pilzen - it served us coffee and a movie! Worst bus ride: Amalfi coast - Amalfi, Italy Best tour: Auschwitz-Birkenau - Krakow, Poland Worst tour: Trummelbach Falls- Switzerland; Mt. St. Michel (way too crowded) - Normandy, France Worst Tourist trap and big hype for nothing: Capri, Italy Best walk: Karlovy ...

... they could not scan the negs for us. BOY!!! The trip here was bizarre. Eastern Montana (think Missoula) is so sad... It smells like the mining town that it is. The decades of neglect and abuse of the environment settles into the back of your throat as you whiz by on the interstate. As you cross into northern Idaho, the look and feel of the off-the-highway townships is that of disconnect and isolation. I knew before traveling through Idaho that ...

... Dinner? Walking distance? Four blocks away? I can't walk that, I just want to be pampered. The fancy Italian restaurant upstairs is closed? Well zippo, guess we'll order pizza in. We've got games, and a mini-bar. And slippers. It will do. We're having a good old time, still full of the day. And the view is grand.

... were receiving their final touches and being tested prior to delivery. Certain features of each model were pointed out by the guide. We saw a JAL 767, 2 Air France 777s and a Singapore 777. This concluded the tour, with us being dropped off next to the Boeing shop. The attraction proved too strong, resulting in us making a few purchases before we left to head back into town. Back at the hotel, we walked the block or so over to our favourite Seattle Center to continue our ...
