It was a long weekend. I want to write more about it, but I'm still just too exhausted from it. And its Thursday.
I began by taking an early train from Portland to Seattle. It took only 3.5 hours. And with comfy seats with plenty of leg room, an outlet to plug in my laptop, and great views, it made me wish the ride was longer.
I got to Seattle around noon. I brought my bike (only $5 extra!), and rode it up to my friend Erik's place in Ballard. We went to lunch, then rolled on over to the Fremont neighborhood. Here we had a beer at Norm's, a dog friendly bar. I tried the Mac & Jacks, a locally brewed African Amber. Quite tasty!
Man's best friend at every booth. Except ours...
Later that afternoon I met up with Cory, who had just finished up a backpacking trip. He showered before picking me up, which is good because I had planned on putting his stinky ass in the back.
We headed east to Spokane. This is where I got lazy. I would really love to show you photos of the several mammoth churches (seriously, these things were huge! and everywhere!) and the really awesome downtown park, but thanks to a bout of the 'fuckits', I just decided I'd rather not photograph anything.
So just take my word for it. Spokane is the land of really big churches and really awesome downtown waterfront park.
The drive back to Portland was pretty incredible. Beautiful rolling hills, vineyards, canyons...
