I spent four days in Seattle, fell in love with the city and my Couchsurfing host Miles (platonically, of course), met Hanna at the train station and took the bus to Portland the next day. Now, Hanna and me are sleeping on Leslies big, L-shaped couch in Portland. I met Leslie in Rurrenabaque, Bolivia, three years ago, and now, yet again, I get to experience how generous North Americans can be.
It’s raining. On Wednesday, we’re picking up our rental car and the road trip starts for real. I just booked lodgings for us for the first two nights. After that, we don’t know. The Thursday after, we’re due to arrive in San Francisco.
I’ll get behind with the writing again, but there simply is far too much to tell about the beautiful Olympic National Park and awesome Seattle for me to want to just rush through it. So, instead, you might get a few updates, just to let you know that we’re alive. And then I’ll write PROPERLY when I have the time. Okay?

Moikka,kiva kuulla uutisia. Sulla vaikuttaa olevan todella intuitio kivoihin Couchsurfing-emäntiin ja isäntiin. Ehdotus. Voisit 2-3 kertaa viikossa kirjoittaa lyhyitä textiuutisia ja sitte kun ehdit niitä pitkiä ja valokuvia. Voisitko tarkistaa sun sähköpostin, meidän pitäisi sopia yöpymisistä. Hali ja terkkuja Hannnalle. marja-äiti
