| | After many initial mishaps, I finally arrived... in Seattle that is. Buses with malfunctioning brakes, broken bathrooms, late starts and endless attempts at catching up to the schedule left a lot of people in varying stages of short tempers. In spite of the awful food, the difficulty of sleeping while sitting mostly upright and the endless creaks and groans of the bus throughout the night (and the rude, bright lights of the people who thought nothing of reading all night long in spite of everyone else trying to sleep) I'd do it again. What other way could I have seen so much of the country at such a pace that gave me an opportunity to enjoy and photograph it?
Now I'm staying at a hostel (for the first time in my life). I'm surrounded by numerous foreign languages, the sounds of the big city coming in through the open windows of the lobby with the cooling breezes (no air-conditioning here at the Green Tortoise). I love it.
I think this is going to be a trip that will be treasured by me for years to come.
