Washington State (Seattle & Eastern Washington)

November 9th, 2009| by: Phil | Uncategorized | No Comments »

My time in Washington was wonderful. I was able to meet up with a friend of a friend and he showed me around the city extensively. I didn’t take as many pictures in Seattle as I would have liked, but this is mostly because I was busy living it up. I also enjoyed a beautiful bike ride, A full round of Frisbee Golf, some solo exploring, meeting random family members, Irish Bars, a lot of Tea (and a new teapot), and a challenging Pub Quiz.  Seattle was great and had delicious fish. The weather was fine and everyone I met was extremely nice. Thanks to all who put me up (and Nick for hooking me up with people in Washington). It was one of my favorite places on my trip.

I also headed to Eastern Washington and stayed with my friend Nick’s parents for the night in Pasco. Thanks to them for putting me up as well.

I woke up my 2nd day in Yosemite and got my gear ready for a hike up to Clouds Rest when I saw this walking past me. It was probably the best encouter with a wild animal I have ever experienced. After it walked past me I got ready to head out and came upon it again with 2 other hikers. It barked a couple of times and then put its head back and HOWWWWWWWLLLL. It was the most amazing thing to see. THAT….is how you start your day.

Here are some photos from my time in Louisiana. I made it to Baton Rouge before Becca & Nate left for their Journey in south east Asia. I was also able to check out New Orleans with my friend Deanna, which was lovely. I thank the people in Louisiana who let me sleep in their houses! w00t!

Oh… also, I saw one (1) Alligator, but ate many, many more. It’s quite delicious. The food in Louisiana has been the best food I’ve had hands down. If anyone decides to go to Louisiana for any reason whatsoever, make sure you take time to eat…food…there.
