Mile 10: Coffee Monday and an unforgettable evening on a farm in Mulino

Banana, Portland On Monday morning, it was cloudy and rainy. After a healthy breakfast at Grand Central bakery, we headed to Oblique Coffee roasters. Beware: Hippies may only use the backdoor and locals get eaten here (see pictures below). After our first cup of black fuel and some blogging, it started to rain heavily. We used the time writing postcards to our friends and family, while sipping…

Mile 8: Mount St. Helens and beer tasting in Portland [USA, 2015]

After we said goodbye to our great hosts and the farm animals in Port Angeles, we went off to Portland. Along the way, we saw a sign to Mt. St. Helens. We decided to take the two-hour detour to see this active volcano, which exploded in May 1980. The landscape was destroyed in just a few minutes. A ranger told us that the volcano is now still ‘building’ itself up again, for the next big event.…

Mile 5: exploring Golden Gardens Park, Greenwood and the University area [Seattle, USA 2015]

Golden Gardens Park is a small hillside park that ends at the river side with a nice little beach. People do sports here and enjoy the beach, and so did we. We first had some coffee near the park at a good coffee place called ‘Fiore’. It is a very relaxing place with some wooden lounge chairs outside. Rating: 8/10 Coffee and chocolates at Greenwood After this relaxing morning, we cycled up and…

21_21 Design, MOT, Burgers and fake food (Tokyo 2014, #8)

After visiting Kyoto, we spend our last two days in Tokyo. We explored more parts of this huge city. This city has it all! Huge crowds at Shinjuku, idyllic neighbourhoods near Yoyogi park. Shop till you drop, and eat your belly round. It is worthwhile watching the people, the way they dress to impress, shock or do business, just by looking at the chaotic (yet structured) people flow.
