how's my drinking?

Sounds like a surf-dude phrase, but we literally just made it up  (Pat Pending!)!!  Didn’t take much seeing as we are travelling fromVancouver down the Pacific edge as far as San Fran.

Seattle was a cool little place – bearing in mind we were only there for 2nights in the hostel, we got an immediate feal for the town.  The hostel was very good (Green Tortoise) and we met some fun, and some dull, peeps; as well as a hard-core Tuesday night Scrabble pub visit!!

Now in Portland, Oregon for just a night Aug 4th), this is little more than a hotel (no ‘S’ ! ) stopover.  Although today is Aug 4th we celebrated our our Tenth (and ‘tin’) wedding anniversary today.  Tomorrow is THE day, but we will be spending it on an overnight Greyhound bus from Portland to Sacremento, Calif.; so we decided this year to be 24H early!  And why not?  Wedding Anniversaries happen usually only once pa.! –  Its ours afterall!!

NEW PIX???      There havent been many new pix for a while – mainly cos we havent been that good at uploading; and partly because there has been less to photograph!       We we’re hoping to get some sort of view of the ‘out of place’ Aurora Borealis last night and tonight, but the inevinitable city lights put paid to that…Found a BrewPub instead! — Good steak!
