Oooh my...Olympia, Washington

We started our morning in Salem.  We decided to ride to Portland, Oregon for breakfast at the original "Original Pancake House".   So yummy!

                                  Jono had an omelet!

I had a mini helping of pancakes ...Yum!

After breakfast, we headed to a Langlitz Leathers in Portland.  They will make leather anything...shirts, vests, jackets, chaps, pants....to your specs.   Fun to just look around the shop and watch the folks putting all the stuff together.

 Portland is crowded place.   We got stuck in traffic, between the cars, street cars, the trucks and the trains...we felt like home except we were totally lost!   Construction everywhere!   Yikes.

        We finally made it out of Oregon and into Washington State.

Our planned stop for the night was Kelso, WA....as we got closer to the hotel we both realized that there was no way in hell we would stay at that place.  A slight detour was made to pick up the Satellite phone and off we went heading to another, more civilized place.

We ended up in Olympia, WA which is a bit of a mix between Venice, CA and Main St, Santa Monica.   It's a lovely area with a harbor and neat shops.

Jono and I were amazed that all through Oregon and Washington we did not need to wear a jacket.  The weather has been absolutely perfect so far.

We're off to dinner...see ya in British Columbia   xo
