So, I have more things to confess. I’ve read the Twilight novels, too. During an intense two week period in the summer of 2009, I practically lived through those four books. I worked and I read. Maybe I ate a little, but I definitely didn’t sleep. It’s not that they are that good, really, butContinue reading “Chapter 188: The unintentional search for vampires”

30/5: After hiking in the park, I took the bus back to town and decided to walk around Port Angeles for an hour. You know, so that I wouldn’t miss anything. But really, there wasn’t much to miss. It’s a small harbour town, mainly consisting of two main streets and then a couple of roadsContinue reading “Chapter 187: Port Angeles”

30/5: I just simply couldn’t miss the chance to visit famous Olympic National Park, now that I was so near. And really, it wasn’t much of a detour, I still had to get from Vancouver Island to Seattle somehow. So, I found a Couchsurfing host (wonderful Sandy and Louie) in Port Angeles and got toContinue reading “Chapter 186: Hiking in the Olympic National Park”

29/5: On the ferryride from Victoria to Port Angeles, Mr. P refused to talk with me. He was angry with me for forcing him to leave Whiskey Creek and his new best friend Kermit. I thought he was being unreasonable, so I left him to brood by himself. I bought six Reese peanutbutter cups withContinue reading “Chapter 185: Mr. P on the ferry”

So, I haven’t written for a while. It’s been weeks, I haven’t composed anything proper since I left Whiskey Creek Farm in the end of May. I’ve simply been too busy. But we made it to San Francisco, Hanna and me, and we spent five intense days shopping, looking at houses and eating amazing meals.Continue reading “Chapter 184: The big recap”

Driving from Portland to San Francisco was exhausting, exciting, beautiful and maybe one of the most intense experiences I’ve had. And utterly amazing, of course. I’ve made so many notes and taken so many pictures, that I think it’ll take weeks before I’ll be able to catch up with all the writing. But I wantContinue reading “Chapter 183: Short update II”

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, threeContinue reading “Chapter 182: Short update”

Thursday (31/5): Taking the 6 AM bus from Port Angeles was an experience in it’s own right. God, was it hard to get out of bed at 4:45, with the clouds hanging heavy and grey outside. But Louie was kind enough to give me a ride to the bus station. A better couchsurfing host wouldContinue reading “Chapter 181: Lonely Swedish girl, all on her own, in the big American city”

I spent two nights on the Olympic Peninsula. The nights I couchsurfed at Sandy and Louie’s house outside of Port Angeles, and the day hiking in the Olympic Natinal Park. I also spent one and a half hour in Port Angeles, which is more or less enough to see what’s worth seeing and then haveContinue reading “Chapter 180: On the Olympic Peninsula”

Tuesday (29/5): So, now I’m sitting in the bus, leaving Whiskey Creek. I feel sad. I didn’t want to go. I could have stayed with Lori for the rest of the summer, eating chicken and eggs and played with Tango and cuddled with the baby chicks and made apple pie and rhubarb sauce. But, atContinue reading “Chapter 179: The risks of traveling”
