Oregon Coast

This picture is from Nate’s paragliding club’s launch at the top of a bluff that towers over the Pacific in Oceanside, OR. We also took a hike along the Cape Lookout at the namesake state park. Beautiful countryside if chilly, especially when the clouds broke. Great meal at The Schooner, with simple local ingredients. Great company with Nate, April and David.

Portland, and a pause

I arrived in the Portland area after Boise and met up with David and Rachel again, where Rach is having an internship (we're actually across the river in Vancouver, WA). The first few days were busy with the Fourth and birthdays and an amazing dinner at Ox, an Argentine steak house. I needed a break from the road, and access to regular hot showers, so I booked a room for a month and am taking a break. I’ve actually begun working on my CV/resume and applying for jobs, so break and pause may be disingenuous words. I’m here, for now, at least!
