We left San Fran on the light before this light. The companion found us a ride in a van with three women all traveling to Seattle. We drove for a long time, and I had space to nap as much as I wanted too.The ladies were like cool rockers. Thank heavens I wasn’t in the travel hat! They each have stories to tell about their lives. I enjoyed relaxing with them. The companion even took the wheel some. I was a bit nervous because it has been a long time for him to drive. And I remember his road rage in Chicago.
To my surprise, when we arrived at the hotel, the companion said: I was a bit scared driving into town.
He scared? He’s such a goofball. Northern California was really beautiful. But I couldn’t focus as much as I can on the bike. It all goes by so fast. And I don’t really get to smell anything. I heard the Companion say today that he also missed the biking up here. It would have been really pretty.
But I can see he is thinking of other bike trips to take. But for now the challenge is looking for a place to live and getting settled in Portland. But I know the companion, and I know how he things, and I know how much he’s going to miss the bicycling, and I know how much he loved seeing the Pacific. I think it won’t be long before we are taking a weekend trip to see it again!
Antigone and Companion, you guys have trekked so far. You are to be commended. Time to take a rest. Get settled. Warmer weather will soon be here. Plenty of time for more riding then. Please take care of yourselves.

ReplyDeleteHello-I live in the Sellwood section of Portland, right across the Sellwood Bridge. I live with a companion and we have two bassets, Blanche and Wilma, who are half sisters. They are ages 4 and 6. Perhaps we can all meet and go for a walk some time. Please email me at:
