Portland Arrival

Orf, Michelle, and I had some great breakfast at the Original Pancake house in Kirkland. Amazing cherry crepes. Came back to the house and after several hours of GTA IV (awesome!) we went for a hike to Poo Poo Point on Tiger Mountain. Took a long time, enjoyed the scenery, and slowly walked off as Orf was slowed by a recent ankle injury.

Indian food for dinner and a little more GTA before heading to bed.

Next morning, Donuts and Orf took us to King's Street Station to take the Amtrak to Portland. A fun, four hour ride later, we arrived in Portland - Michelle's first Amtrak ride will likely lead to more. Though she quickly got a taste for the annoying passengers that seem to appear here and there on the train as a talkative woman behind us used a lot of different words across a variety of subjects to make it obvious that she has no friends. But be warned! The end of times is near because the Bible foresaw rising commodity prices.... or something.

Hanging with Adam, Ildiko, and Lisa now, waiting for Russ to drop by. Will likely spend tomorrow at Mt. St. Helens.
