The Portland Seattle Sandwich (yaiAnn)

How do I catch you up with all my goings ons the past month and a half? Let's start with quick down and dirty photo montage cliff notes of the first vacation of the summer, STP aka "The Portland to Seattle to Portland to Seattle then back home again" trip.

Tuesday, July 10..
Leave San Francisco at 7pm and roll into Medford, Oregon past midnight. Note to any late night road trippers, not all fast food joints are open 24 hours. For the vegetarians out there, especially those that don't eat seafood, these make food options severely limited especially when Burger King isn't the joint that's open past midnight. My dinner, Filet'o'Fish with the tartar sauce scraped off. Finally headed to bed past 2am.

Wednesday, July 11..
Continued onto Portland. Spent WAY too much time at the outlets, leaving us no time to stop in Portland. Got our view via the bridges.

Rolled into Seattle past sunset.

Thursday, July 12..
Headed to Macrina Bakery in Belltown and had breakfast with two wonderful knitters. Headed to REI to pick up some necessities for the weekend's activity then met up with friends for a "practice."

Friday, July 13..
Sadly, I can't remember much about first part of the day, but in the evening, we went to my friend's gallery opening and purchased our first piece of art.

Saturday, July 14..
Headed back to Portland at 5am with 6 friends via two-wheeled man-powered vehicles.

Rolled into Portland by 10pm and crashed out at our super cool hotel.

Sunday, July 15..
Headed back to the finish line to cheer on the rest of the riders. Then made our way back to Seattle after lunch via 4-wheeled gas-powered vehicle.

Monday, July 16..
Grubbed on some of the best Indian food EVER (second to the food at my grad school roommate's wedding)!

Strolled down to the neighboring yarn shop and got some yarn for a hat for B. Then headed out to meet some friends for a refreshing frosty drink at the market.
