PART 12: 2011 American Road Trip – Second week in Spokane WA
Be sure to read Part 1 for a trip overview.
Travel Dates: 4/24/11
Kim got me a candle she made out of beeswax. Its awesome!
Travis got a fire going in the back yard at Kim’s
We discussed Greek politics and international travel
We ate lasagna and listened to the police scanner. Spokane is a strange place, and it gets stranger when you listen to the scanner.
We needed more wood to keep the fire going, so Travis attacked the hot tub. It hadn’t seen use in a decade, so we were good to go.
I got a crack at it. I may have enjoyed myself a little too much.
Several glasses of wine later. Sean dropped me off at her house. I was already a bit drunk and barged in the front door with a sombrero on. And of course, I was in argyle.
It was raining a lot. It rained the whole time I was in town.
Alcohol makes me very, very friendly.
Burning the hot tub.
Apparently the wood we burned was perfectly usable redwood. Oops.
The next morning they found old fireworks in the garage and lit them off. Its amazing what you can get away with in a quiet suburb.
Sean’s dad has a GMT400 pickup. This is my all-time favorite pickup truck.
This one’s too new to have the funky half moon gauges, but it does have digital climate control. It rides like a late 80s Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
Went to Kalico Kitchen on Division (Ruby?) with Tyler and Ian. He ordered eggs benedict. I think I ordered eggs. Everything was excellent, including the service.
I attended Kara’s graduation from Gonzaga University. I hate graduation ceremonies, but I’m happy to show my support. Catholics love their wacky rituals, and this was a long one.
That’s it! We hit the road on May 9th and got the hell out. I’ll miss everyone, but I hate that town.
