Vancouver, Seattle, And Beyond


The next stop on our journey was Vancouver, where we basked in the Autumn sunshine and drank and smoked alot with my homies, Leo and Yuko. They showed us the finer points of town, including three of the porn shops that Leo runs. Hanae found a dildo that was just her size, but I put the kaibosh on that, as it made me a little uncomfortable in my manhood. Anyway, we went to among other places, the aquarium, Stanley Park, and the waterfront, and also made a pitstop at Mr. Coffee...which you can see below - and yes, the Kanji says Coffee Sensei!!

But alas, our time in Vancouver was short, and it was on to Seattle, probably the best city in America. We stayed with my friend Peter, who was the best of hosts, staying up til all hours of the night with me playing Rumble Racing on the PS2, and allowing us to smoke copious amounts of his weed. But most of our time there was spent trekking to various places, including Mt Rainier, Mt. St. Helens (which is erupting again - lava is flowing there!), the rain forest, the ocean shores, etc. Here's a picture of Mt Rainier as we were hiking in the Sunrise part of the park.

And next we have a beautiful lake that we hiked to. The water was crystal clear, but fuggin' cold! It was amazing though.


The next stop was Mt. St. Helens, which was one of the coolest places we went, since the mountain has recently become active again. Unfortunately, they won't let you get close to the lava though. I wanted to see if the instructions given on South Park actually work (duck and cover!), but didn't get the chance.

The beach at Oceanside, OR is one of my favorite places, but nearly every time I have ever been there, it has been raining. This time was obviously no exception...




And finally, after a month on the road, our fantastic voyage had to come to an end, mostly because we were both running out of money. So with our tails between our legs, we came slinking back to North Dakota in the Kia Penis (see previous post if you don't understand), and are currently spending our time bearing the arctic fucking cold of the plains. Do you know we had a goddam snowstorm in North Dakota on Oct 5th? OCTOBER FUCKING FIFTH???? That, my friends, is the reason I ran away from this place 5 years ago! We'll be making the trek back to Seattle (albeit on an airplane, like sensible folk) next week. For now, we'll just bide our time drinking the $3.50 pitchers of Amber Bach, and watching bands with $2.00 covers. Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves as much as we are!
