... Views from the top floor were incredible. Next stop was a visit to the University of Washington. Situated on the water, it was an impressive campus.
We then took off for Pike Place Market. This was a huge open air market....fish, flowers, fruits, vegetables....you name it. The market itself was blocks long ...

Seit gestern Abend nun sind Simon und ich nach einer Marathon-Tour von ca. 600 Meilen bei meiner Tante und ihrer Family angekommen. Nach 4 Tagen am Lake Tahoe, reichlich Party und Beach-Chilling, kroenten wir unseren letzten Abend mit einem tollen Feuerwerk zum Labor Day. Am Morgen ging es dann ueber Napa Valley ...

... cow raced the fence a couple more times, so the horses weren't too happy until we moved on past the cow's territory. However, shortly after that, there were a couple of deer just down the road ahead, eating some apples from a tree, (that could have possibly been a problem...either by getting spooked or spooking the horses) so Jenny rode ahead to 'move' them along, etc. Never a dull moment.

For those of you whom might remember my Travel Pod about last year ...

... We walked around for a bit at Portland - not a whole lot there either. Decided not to stay there cos we had some time to make up so we kept driving - said we'd stop at 7pm wherever we were haha. So we ended up staying at a super 8 at Creswell about an hour south of Salem. The guy at the front desk was hilarious - he loved our accents so just kept on ...

We stopped in Ashland close to dusk.

I drove through the center strip by SOU.

We stopped in downtown and walked.

We went to the theater to see if a play was happening that night.

We went to sushi, it was not very good.

We took the very difficult 101 highway to Klamath Falls during a dark night.

Now that we are home I wanted to share what we have learned about Belize. Caye Caulker is a cool funky little island but tourists beware of smoking pot. We met a guy who got shaken down by the local cop(s) for smoking a joint at the end of a pier. The cop took all the money in his wallet and his weed (probably for re-sale). The local folks seem to smoke it with out much hassle pretty much anywhere. The Ragamuffin' Tour is worth every Penny. You save a bunch of ...

Well we have 2 weeks before we leave for Sacramento, where we fly out of on the 17th. We will be heading to Denver first where we will spend the night with our girls Ashley and Lindsay. On the 18th we fly to Belize. When we get to Belize City we are to be met by a driver who will wisk us away to the water taxi. The water taxi will take us to Caye Caulker where we will stay 2 nights at Lee Side Villas. On Friday morning we board a sail boat bound for Placencia. The tour is ...

... secure my prescription from my optometrist, input it to a website, and order a pair of glasses AND a pair of sunglasses for less than the price of one at a brick-and-mortar store. Hunters used to return victoriously to the campfire and regale the tribe with stories about the drama of their hunt... well here you go, these are my hunting stories. I've had great fun stalking the mighty Consumer Goods and dragging home the Travel Gear.

I need to get back to practicing my Greek language. I left off on learning how to say, "The yellow rectangle is shorter than the green rectangle." Very useful stuff. A guy on the bus ride home today had a sentence tattooed on his arm in Greek letters, but I couldn't read it. It must not have said anything about rectangles.
