So, Colin & I have managed to self-propel to Portland. Each day, we started off somewhere, and ended up somewhere else! Still pretty amazing to me. Portland is pretty great, as are our hosts Clare & Joel & baby Ella, who are putting us up despite moving to Chicago tommorrow. I saw this guy, an etsy fave of mine, last night during some kind of arty deal: Perfect children. I am also pleased to report that we are back to green, and moss, and related plant life. That whole arid desert thing was beginning to wear on me. The Columbia River Gorge was rather scenically beautiful, and rather windy.
Here, I am going so fast that my wheel has almost vaporized.

goddamn desert.
