Povey's Travels
ok so ive been a little rubbish of late keeping everyone upto date on whats going on and i do apologise for it
well cant remember the last time i emailed so will go with when i was in vancouver - was a cool place and the weather reminded me of home - basically because it rained most of the time - but i put it down to it being a holiday weekend in canada so it had to rain - plus was a nice relief from all the sunshine!!!!
so chilled in vancouver for a few days hitting a few bars but mainly using it as a bit of a break so was vv good
then i headed back to seattle - as i managed to get a room and oh my god i love that place
i manged to befriend this girl in the hostle from london and this dude from reading and went to see a film about air gituaring (they had a film festival going on) and oh my god it was one of the most ridiculous things ive ever seen! so after that we headed off to a bar with the 2 people form the hostle and ended up having a really good night!
the next day i went on a hike up to squamie falls which was a nice change to get out of the city and then visited the town where the tv show twin peaks was filmed (i have no idea what it is but ive been there) then back to the hostle for free food - thats right they provided food so more money saved - come on!!!!
so also on a money saving mission we went to the store to buyt some booze and manged to get drunk in the hostle - basically we were trying to get it back from the group of screaming kids that were running around - needless to say the teachers didnt approve of us very much! but we had fun - even had this girl who worked at the hostle join us!
so the next day i went to the famous pike place market (the place where they throw the fish about) and if you like fish then youd like this place there were so many funky little shops and sooo much seafood - altho the smell did make me feel a little sick but in general that place was cool
i then met up with rachel from the hostle and we went on the seattle underground tour (which is basically streets underground where they had to rise it up to stop the city from sinking!
then back to the hostle where agin we had another night of dinking - who knew pictionary could be a good drinking game - and later on we were taken to a bar by some of the people who worked there and then taken up to the roof to see the city which was cool
the next day i went to this folk festival they had on in the city ( it was free ok) and generally chilled out in seattle - i then met up with bereke the dude i met in washington who took me out and showed me the good bars to go to
so after all the fun and excitement i headed off to portland
and when i got here it was the quietest hostle ive stayed in so far and managed to bump into this freak who i met in vancouver (an older guy who constantly asks you whats going on then stares at you until you answer him) but managed to find some aussies who were in the air force who took me to a bar which was lets say pretty cool and managed to get me pretty drunk - plus i manged to mess with an americans head by saying we didnt have electricity or cds and said i dint know what an mp3 was - their so stupid!
anyway the next day i came into town to expolre portland and oh my god they have the biggest book shop ive ever seen - its basically a whole city block which i dont know how else to discribe it apart from f***in massive - i mean they have every book you can think of!!!
i manged to find some cool people in the hostle and went for a few drinks with them so portland was starting to look up
what else have i done - oh i went to one of the big parks here in portland and got myself lost on the nature walk - but hey it wasted like 4 hours trying to find my way back, also id been walking for a while anyway
and last night had a few drinks in the hostle and got ourselves in trouble as thier pretty much noise nazis at this place and anything past 10pm is unacceptable - i mean its a hostle remove that rod from your ass!
so now im off to the portland coast for the weekend as the weather here has been fantasic and sooo hot i thought why not live it up on the beach!
after that its san fran
will try and keep you all up to date as i can
