portland shenanigans

we got a lift from cascade locks to portland with annie and her dad. one of the 'american' things buttercup really wanted to do was go bowling (while drinking white russians), along with going out for steak and lobster.









this was during our bowling experience... (with a pitcher of pbr - which is probably far more american)







buttercup showing off his hula hoop style...













binky - wiz's friend who we stayed with and wiz and i eating out somewhere....











we visited a big rose garden where there was serious fines for picking the roses... there's fines for everything here, and all the signs tell you exactly what law it is you're breaking...













washington is far more remote in terms of resupply than the other states, so we posted almost all our food to ourselves at passes and ski resorts. this is our amazing resupply mess...





there was a random minature armchair on our walk between bowling alley and potential steak and lobster house (actually karaoke bar)...











this is wiz and buttercup singing 'du hast' (rammstein) in german... i was pretty impressed because the lyrics were written up in english, and wiz wasn't distracted by them... buttercup pointed out to us later that the english translation on the screen was completely incorrect...








wiz, buttercup and i celebrating two states, steak, and a hilarious visit to portland... (often i'm the only one in a photo with red-eye - those ridiculously huge skidmore pupils - but this is a rare single red-eye shot....)














hitching back to cascade locks took two hitches, and it felt like we stood out there on a pretty warm day for ages, but i think it was only about half an hour each hitch...
