2 weeks in the Northwest
Ok so the train trip didn't happen, I need to learn to stop writing my plans in here or telling people about them because they never come true if I do. Just the same, I think it worked out for the best this way, I did the things I really wanted to do and I had an amazing time. I surprisingly got along great with my mom the 2 weeks I was in Seattle, except for 1 day when she wanted to go back to a casino we had already been to the day before (she's a bit of an addict).
The first weekend up there my mom and I went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver. I had to convince her to come because she was scared from the pictures in the brochures, but she wound up liking it as much as I did if not more. That following weekend we went to Portland for a day, she took a free shuttle to a casino by the beach and I hung out with Jennelle which was soo much fun. Jennelle is one of my better friends, I wish we lived closer. Portland is famous for its array of vegan food, so we checked out Proper Eats; aside from the nasty berry lemonade drink everything was delicious. "Look at these chairs... it's like they don't even try. All vegan places are like this" - Jennelle lol
I ate two desserts even though I was stuffed. Then we went on a tram overlooking downtown that normally would be like $35, but since its public transportation and connects two hospitals it was only $4! After that, we scrambled to get Jennelle nice clothes and makeup at a discount/free because we were gonna go to some dance show (she got free tickets from work and her co-workers were gonna be there). We practically ran to the place only to find out the show was cancelled, so we went to "The Bite of Oregon" festival which kind of sucked but there was good live music and yummy asparagus meals.
I had a lot of fun with my mom those 2 weeks, I think the fact that she got into it with her boyfriend helped us bond (apparently he got mad about all the time and money he was spending on me taking me out to eat EVEN THOUGH he kept offering and my meals were never more than $7).
Now I'm in Vigo, I keep waking up at 4am and sleeping during the afternoon. In my next entry I'll write about my time in Philadelphia and New York :)
EDIT: omfg I can't find my camera anywhere I think I lost it!! This SUCKS, I hadn't uploaded pics since Vancouver. I had REALLY cool photos of Eastern State Penitentiary fuckfuckfuck
