Highway 101

We took the coastline today. Damn, is stunning! High mountains, green valleys and waves braking against giant cliffs. I think we past more or less every hillbilly city at the west coast, we have seen millions of trailers, bigger then my apartment in VC and we have past thousands of antique boutiques that contain strange enough nothing antique at all.



We have seen to many fat Americans and eaten to much fat food, even the salads are served with nothing else then plain grease. We have past a village called Denmark and a restaurant called the crazy Norwegians fish and chips. We are pretty proud to say that we manage to drive through the sate of Oregon, and are now located in the state of California. We’re in Cresecent City, were the hell is that you wonder? Well we don’t know either sucker! More reporting from San Francisco, we just have an eight-hour drive ahead of us.

Route 5

Took the bus to Seattle, Washington yesterday, rented a car at Thrifty’s and after being served by a waitress high on speed, we drove for Portland, Oregon. Quite city it was, but JR and me are both felling the urge to keep on going, we long for Californian and the beaches of Santa Cruz. We crashed at a Motel a long the road, it was fairly nice considering the price we paid for it. Today we are early birds, and all ready, we are up and running, well at least running for pancakes for breakfast.

A Ray Of Sunlight

Finally, one day without rain. When I woke up this morning, I knew something was different and I ran to the window and when I glazed out, I could see a clear blue sky.

So what do you do on Sunday’s when it’s sunny and you have a boyfriend? You go on a Sunday strolls in Stanley Park. So we did, and so did one million other couples that day. The park was crowded, people kissing everywhere. I almost felt that I needed to outtake them I kissing style, but I came to my senses, I don’t have to prove anything to those Vancouverites.



Stanley Park is beautiful, we walked around the Lost Lagoon and found our way to VC beaches. Overlooking the pacific sea, you could se the skyline of Vancouver.

Then we went to Hamburger Mary’s, to enjoy its homemade blueberry milkshakes. Eating out is very common here, and cheaper then buying and cook the food yourself. It’s mostly Japanese food, since 30% of inhabitants of Vancouver are Asian, and I have learned to love their food, is so much more then sushi. JR and me have favourite place, it’ s just a hole in the wall, but the restaurant serves the best Ramen soup in town, and it’s always a long queue outside to get in. On Sundays we also often go to the bakery Cupcakes, were they have about 30 different cupcakes and toppings to choose from, Sweet Sixteen, is my favourite. My god a I am going to get fat while I am here.

Fun in the woods

What have I been up to lately? We went on a fieldtrip to Tofino, on Vancouver Island. If it’s something I hate even more then death penalty and war, it’s fieldtrips, camping or going on “hyttetur”. I like the city, big houses, fumes and junk food. Seriously I rather die then go on such a trip, but now I was forced by higher powers and there I was six a clock in the morning with backpack and rubber boots. I wanted to kill myself, to make everything a little bit worse I decided to concentrate on hating the situation the hole seven hour trip to our destination.

While there is actually wasn’t that bad, I was even surprised! Mother Nature is beautiful. Long beaches, high mountains and wild animals. We were warned emdiatly when we arrived to never bend over, i.e. to tie your shoelaces, then it’s a grate chance that you will get attacked by a mountain lion or worse, a black bear. We had a loose schedule, had one lecture and a teambuilding day out in the woods. I looked for mountain lions everyday, but to my grate lose I didn’t see one before we went home.


Friday’s we had a grand welcoming party at our homebase, were we had invited everyone in the neighbourhood and our customers. But before we could party a native lady (to say indian to natives is as bad as saying nigger to a black man) came to us and blessed the building. 150 people came to the party, and it was a blast.

What else? It seems like it have stopped raining, finally some sun. I yearn for Easter vacation, two weeks left. Espen and me are going on a road trip to California. Visiting Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA and of course we will do some spontaneous pit stops.

By the way, here you can see what our school the Kaospilots is all about.
