so were on top of the gorge in washougal, washington. the sunsets are incredible and the views are outrageous. there are a million bagillion starts outside! its been sunny and warm in the city!. we ate fruit loop doughnuts and coffee for breakfeast. and portland really does have a ton of crazy people! the crazy homeless people were headed for my food, and we wandering and bumping into me like zombies, chanting? goldie had to get the policia, but its all good, i guess they just forgot to take their medicine.

yesterday we biked from vancouver to portland. about 20 miles. In the rain, over the giant bridge, sleeping in the library, it took us a few U turns and a few hours. but my butt hardly made it. . it hurts, and the bikeshorts hardly help.

I am still sick! and i dont know what i will feel like tomorrow. goldie is well, keeping up the positivity while im snoting my face away. we will be exploring portland for the next few days, and begining to plan more of our trip south! I want you all to be really jelous, back in ol colorado, while we are out, not knowing what is going to happen in the next 15 minutes, but the cold really makes colorado sound awesome right now. We cant wait till its warm!!! no flats, no accidents, everything is well. i guess. the sickness it really tough. . but i love you all and hope your having a good time! love you so much, and miss you! i have been getting homesick, a lot of it is because i want a cozy place to rest, and its almost the complete opposite. okay, a lot of this is mamma jamma, not really sure what i wrote. the days are long and full, so maybe i will write everyday to keep track of things. love you,
