Last Night

Last night I watched some awesome meteors fly through the sky in the Columbia River Gorge. It was an awesome place, with awesome people and the sky lit up like nothing I'd ever seen a few times. Sometimes I can't remember if I'm living or dreaming. 

Today (Well... Yesterday's) Adventurings

1. Bought groceries. Way overdue. 
2. Bought sheets for my bed finally. They are purple. I like purple. 
3. Successfully got the interwebs turned on at my new apartment.  
4. Read more on Thomas Jefferson. Damn he is awesome. 
5. Received my new debit card in the mail! Now to acquire a new ID. 

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY WENT TO THE COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE WITH JACKIE AND CAMERON!!!! We went up to Vista House. The view from up there was spectacular. Just amazing!

Then we continued driving the Columbia River Highway and ran into Latourell Falls. We frolicked around in the waters of this mighty giant for a while.

I love Oregon so much. Nothing compares to tracking through mud and rocks to stand/sit in the presence of something so majestic.

Nature is so amazing. And powerful, too. I really wanted to get closer to it but the wind and mist kept pushing me back. It feels so good to feel so small sometimes. I bet it was amazing to come across these places before concrete paved the way. 

After a few minor stops along the way we made our way to The Bridge Of The Gods that crosses over into Washington. I've wanted to cross that bridge since I started researching Oregon a few years ago.

After that we sat on the riverbank and had sandwiches and BERRIES I picked. It was a quick but very magical trip indeed. But alas the day has been long and tomorrow starts in about 4 hours so I must zone out to some Radiohead now. 

Yesterday's Adventure

Yesterday I went to Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge. I have many pictures and even more feels that I cannot put into words at this moment.

Thank you, Danil for getting me out of bed. I really needed that adventure. 

I am currently trying to decide which pictures best describe the place without posting 20 pictures.  

I  met some really rad people and experienced genuine, rugged adventure. Alas it is far too beautiful outside to waste time in front of a computer so I will post more pictures later.
