USA Day 6 – Down home in a Columbia River Slough
Lon knows lots of interesting people. Also dropping in on this day were Irene Martin and her husband. They work fishing for salmon in this river (the Columbia River). Irene is also a writer (Lon got his copy signed)
Travelling Day 4 – SF to Portland, Or. Day 5 a little bit of work
I am really glad I travelled by train rather than flying – even though I am pretty tired again. Gave me a strong feeling for how small and how far flung some of the towns are.
There were plenty of farms with a paddock full of defunct cars from the Model T right through to Studebakers from the 70s. What do you do with an old car in a country town?
SF Missed appointment, Walk, Asian Museum and some fans
USA Day 3 – Missed Appointment, Walk, Asian Museum (and a couple of little boats) and meeting some fans
Day 2 – S.F. Chinatown, Maritime Museum, two Goats and a Lucky Fortune Cookie
Walked through Chinatown again to go to the Maritime Museum with Oly an internet boatbuilding Friend from the PDRacer forum.
Saw two of my boats there that were built by kids from the less advantaged part of the city. Spoke to Seth (right, Oly is left) one of the teachers/organisers.
But what to do about the vegemite?
About to leave for the USA – Let me calculate …. that means about 45 important emails I have to answer when I get back to civilisation!!! Not to mention about 150 posts on the PDRacer forum and another 200 here.
