I've arrived in Seattle!
The drive from Portland to Seattle was really beautiful and not too long--I've arrived to a classic Seattle weather condition: cloudy.
But before that, I drove from the Kennedy School down through Portland's Alameda neighborhood and stopped to eat a terrific breakfast at the Cadillac Cafe before getting on the road. It was good to have real, hot food, instead of eating my mini shredded wheats and drinking my little containers of milk for breakfast. Generally I'm not a fan of big meals, but I think I needed the recharge.
Although the drive was short, this was the first day I really felt tired and consequently was in bed and asleep by ten. Amelia and Tres took me out for a beer at a local bookstore/pub and then we came back to their apartment and made pizza and talked about hunting mushrooms. It's nice to know that I'll be here for a few days and don't have to think about driving or where my next stop will be.
Internet isn't ideal here (I'm on Amelia's computer, because my own won't pick up any wireless signals) so I won't be posting pictures until Saturday night, but never fear, the updates will keep coming.
More to come!

In my opinion this is just as momentus as, "The Eagle has landed"! Congrats to a great driver/tour guide/journalist for such a great first half. I'm sure pictures of the halfway point will be exciting not to mention we will finally see pictures of other life forms beside yourself, ("not that anything is wrong with that"). Wagons Halt!
