Someone outside was talking throughout much of the night. When I checked out they said that breakfast would be ready in 20 minutes but I was worried about missing my ferry. I did a final visit with Rachel the Pig at Pike Place Market and then walked to Seattle Ferry Terminal (for Washington State Ferries). I missed the first of two ferries I could have taken but made the second. The ferry terminal didn't have a dining area due to construction, and the dining area on the ferry was closed. I took the ferry to Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal, Bainbridge Island.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: At the time, it was mandatory for people visiting or returning to Canada to fill in vaccination details in advance in ArriveCan to enter the country.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Probably due to more construction, foot passengers had to leave the ferry via the car desk. I took a 390 bus (formerly 90; Kitsap Transit) to North Viking Transit Center in Poulsbo. The ride was free due to the ORCA reader not working. I took a 7 bus (Jefferson Transit; free due to the pandemic) to Haines Park & Ride in Port Townsend. There's a McDonald's very close but I didn't want to risk missing my connection. The 8 bus (Jefferson Transit) soon arrived. There was a large stretch of construction starting around Discovery Bay and in that stretch cars on both sides of the road had to use the same side of the road and thus were taking turns. So it took an hour to get through what should have been a five minute stretch. I had thought of taking the Strait Shot bus but given its later departure I would have missed my ferry if I had.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The 123 Strait Shot bus is Clallam Transit.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">At Sequim Transit Center in Sequim, I got off and walked to a McDonald's a few blocks away. Too late for hash rooms but got a bacon and egg biscuit at least. I returned to the transit center I caught a 30 Commuter bus (Clalllam Transit) to Gateway Transit Center, Port Angeles; along the way in Carlsborg I passed the private road My Way, so your options there are literally My Way or the highway. I got a couple comic trades from First Street Outlet, then took the Coho Ferry (Black Ball Transport) back to Victoria; I ran out of time to check the exchange rate so I guessed 133%. I made it home okay. Most of the rest of the day is beyond the scope of these trip reports, However, I did let myself crash a bit at Thetis Lake and was feeling pretty relaxed until someone asked the police to speak to me. I can't win there: if I'm feeling anxious on the beach, someone will sic the police on me. If I'm feeling too relaxed, someone will sic the police on me. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: I have Asperger’s and am prone to anxiety attacks.

I walked across the Bell Street Bridge to go to the observation deck but it wasn't yet 7 when the deck opened. I walked to Pike Place Market and saw Rachel the Pig. After breakfast at the Green Tortoise Hostel (I got permission to toss a leaky cup) I walked back ti the observation deck but it was still locked. I walked to Olympic Sculpture Park and Myrtle Edwards Park for the second time this trip and then returned to the deck. Still closed. I walked to the Washington State Ferries terminal to get a sense of my impending return and then walked through the Pioneer Square district where I visited the concrete Occidental Park with a firefighters sculpture and Waterfall Garden Park, a tiny park with artificial waterfalls.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Back downtown I visited Target and then took a 28 bus (both buses today King County Metro Transit) to Magnolia Bookstore.

Getting out proved complicated. I made it to Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center.(their choice of words re: Indian, not mine). I think there was a wedding happening there or something similar. Regardless photo ops more limited than usual. I finally escaped from the park and made my way to the Fish Ladder at Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. I crossed the locks and revisited Ballard's Twice Sold Tales just to see Beau the cat. I had lunch at McDonald's but wish instead I had gone to the KFC across the street; US KFC is tastier than Canadian. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: That KFC is now closed.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I walked to Fremont where I revisited the plant dinosaurs, Fremont Rocket, Lenin statue, Center of the Universe, Waiting for the Interurban, JP Patches & Gertrude: Late for the Interurban, and Fremont Troll; in the latter instance I zoomed a bit to save myself a hike.

Before reaching there I grabbed an ice tea from Walgreen's. I walked to the International Foundation at Seattle Center. At its armory I asked at Visitor Info why the fountain's music was different this year. I t took a few tries but she finally admitted it was a new person. I went to Mod Pizza. The tray was hot and carrying it outside accidentally spilled Coke on it but it didn't change the flavour much as Coke is passive. Try mixing a Coke with just a little orange juice. The orange juice will dominate, I returned to the fountain.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">After a while I walked back to the observation deck. Still closed so I put my camera through the rails to get a few shots. I revisited both pigs at Pike Place Market before returning to the hostel to pack. My passport got separated and I hadn't noticed but another person in the room found it.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p></p>Andy E.

Fortunately the market still opened later so the damage couldn't have been too severe. Before and after breakfast I walked along the then upcoming Torchlight Parade route getting photos of the set-up. The seating area by Westlake Center, probably for rich people looked a lot different this time. I saw motorcycle cops escorting some floats to the starting point. At times passed a giant red Popsicle sculpture</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I returned to the hostel in part because I forgot my water bottle. I went to Pike Place Market when I snapped a few shots of Rachel the Pig before visiting Golden Age Collectables. I decided to ask about any connection to the Vancouver version. It seems the Vancouver owner used to be a patron of the Seattle version and became friends with the owner. When he opened his own shop he named it after the Seattle version. The market also has a Giant Shoe Museum (peep show format) but I didn't pay for the show.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I grabbed a few more things from the hostel, then went to the downtown branch of the Seattle Public Library and managed to take care of ArriveCAN there using a temporary library card number and PIN. I took a C Rapidride bus (all transportation today King County Metro Transit) to Alaska Junction in Seattle's West Seattle district. I visited Pegasus Book Exchange and bought a DVD from Easy Street Records. I took a few shots of Tales of Astonish, not yet open for the day. It's almost certainly named after a Marvel title.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: At the time, it was mandatory for people visiting or returning to Canada to fill in vaccination details in advance in ArriveCan to enter the country.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 50 bus to Jack in the Box. Again I had to order via a drive through. The bus schedule at the stop proved inaccurate; I missed a couple buses because I thought they weren't for a while. I made it to Alki Beach, The Birthplace of Seattle Marker was gone. Don't know if moved or removed. I did see the miniature Statue of Liberty and some art tents. I lay down on the sand and rested a bit. The seashore was too shallow to swim at but I did sit in the water.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: Google Street View shows that the marker is still there.

Curiously since I got on the earlier bus at 10:30, the transfer didn't expire until 9 pm. At the market I visited Left Bank Books, Lionheart Books, BLMF Books, Holy Cow Records (bought DVDs), Orange Dracula (novelty shop), Rummage Around, Lamplight Books. After a stopover at the hostel to grab batteries I took the parade route to Seattle Center.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">At the International Fountain there I took a lot of shots but was trying to keep an older guy in a black speedo out of the shots. A couple people trying to get a petition for universal healthcare in the state seemed impressed that I couldn't sign because I was Canadian and thus already had it. It took time to locate but I got money from a Bank of America ATM near the center. I grabbed dinner from the 7-11 near Seattle Center and found a place across from Westlake Park. Unlike before the parade route was fenced off so no "Repent or Go to Hell" types with loudspeakers, no butting in front of me. I saw mini-marathon runners.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">No motorcycle pre-show this time. Across the street a family was playing rap music so lots of n-word. Alaska Airlines was offered cookies, water, and airplane shaped hat. At one point a guy with a beef against a group in the parade pushed beside me and flipped the group and cussed them out. No horses this year. Did see a chicken place vehicle shaped like a giant helmet, the Seattle Seahawks helmet car, the Seattle Seafair Clowns, and the Seattle Seafair Pirates firing a cannon. My mind wanted to follow them a ways to get more shots of the cannon firing, but the body was unwilling and I returned to the hostel.</span></p><p></p>Andy E.

I had breakfast at the hostel and then went to the bus stop. A 577 bus was supposed to arrive before the 578 (both Sound Transit) so I was going to take it to Federal Way, get photos of light rail construction, and then take the 578 from there, but it never showed so I did a very brief walk and then took the 578 bus directly to Sumner Station, Sumner. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The other piggy-bank is Billie.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">It was early so I passed through the small concrete park Heritage Park and then photographed the outside of A Good Book. Continuing on, I had to take a detour due to construction; I think there must have been a slightly raised sidewalk, so I took a spill. Camera wasn't damaged and more surprisingly my scrapes didn't start bleeding after like they normally do. I walked to the McDonald's and got a large Coke. I saw another 578 but I wanted to get a few more shots so I let it go. Soon after I hiked to Puyallup. Neither the original 578 stop there or a temporary one (due to construction) had times. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Wandering around, at a park I recognized a statue that I think used to be in a different location. Playing a hunch I went across the street to the public library and found an art map. Sure enough, quite a few art pieces that I thought had been removed years ago were actually in different locations. I don't know of they were moved to their new location right away or if they were in storage for a while. One was Man who Catches Birds with His Beard, which used to be near the bus/train station, and Salutation, another tasteful nude female statue; in the latter case it is now off to the side of a staircase, thus raised a few steps. Since the woman is leaning back, when you look up to the statue your eyes meet her intimate area (luckily not as realistic as most of the rest of her) and it's harder to see her face now.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I wandered some more and then took another 578 bus to Westlake Park and then at Westlake Station, took a 1 Line (Sound Transit) to the U District Station. There I visited Magus Bookstore, Bulldogs News (which seems to be transitioning into a coffee shop), University Bookstore, and Scarecrow Video; bought 4 DVDs at the latter. I had to use the drive through window to get lunch at Jack in the Box. I got three more Mystery Science Theater 3000 sets. I took a 79 bus (King County Metro Transit).</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The latter sets were purchased at Al’s Music, Video & Games.

There were times when I was watching the water but pointing the camera away from the water to avoid being confronted. I did a couple swims there. I left by way of the dog off leash area. At one point through a fence I saw A Sound Garden, the inspiration for the rock band Sound Garden, but due to the lack of wind the pipes were quiet. I took a 75 bus (King County Metro Transit) to University Village (actually just barely outside the U District). I took photos of various sculptures (some like Stonehenge also fountains). In one case I left Water Frolic (frogs "spitting") because a little girl was playing there but I later came back.. After I was leaving the second time, I spotted the scrap metal penguin that used to be at Pacific Place. It was always a highlight of past trips, so I was very happy to finally find its new location. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I wandered through the University of Washington, where an HBO shoot was happening. This might be why Drumheller Fountain was turned off. At University of Washington Station I took a 1 line train to Capitol Hill Station (that was the last use of Sound Transit for this trip). I visited Phoenix Comics, Elliott Bay Book Company, the Jimi Hendrix statue, and that area's Twice Sold Tales. I found two store cats there. I took an 8 bus (King County Metro Transit) to near Seattle Center. I got a sandwich at Subway and a Slurpee at 7-11. And then went to the International Fountain. After a while I got more beer and returned to the hostel via the Seattle Center Monorail one last time I can't access ArriveCan on my notebook so front desk recommends trying the library tomorrow. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The filming was for the TV series The Sex Lives of College Girls.

Construction is happening there on a new light rail station (also happening in Lynnwood). Lynnwood will be part of the 1 Line but the eastern communities will be part of a separate line. I visited the nearby I-90 Sculpture Park as well as Island Books (prior to opening for the day, and a park where a yoga class(?) was happening. I took another 550 bus to Downtown Park in Bellevue. I visited the outside of Barnes & Noble. Another place I didn't I'm buy anything at so was happy to just photograph the outside.

I visited Crossroads shopping Center including Half Price Books, where I bought some movies. I took a B Rapidride bus (King County Metro Transit) to Redmond Transit Center in Redmond. I had to resist nodding off especially after a 10 or so minute construction delay. I got a Slurpee at 7-11 and walked to McDonald’s Book Exchange (no relation to the restaurant franchise) but was a bit flustered because I didn't want my half finished Slurpee to tip in my backpack and there was a mask requirement and the mask was partly damaged. The woman there kept trying to talk to me so I got unfocused and soon left. At my final Half Price Books visit I bought a Mystery Science Theater 3000 set. I wanted to have lunch at McDonald's but light rail construction there as well made it hard to reach and I didn't have an address, so I was going from memory with my trip planning.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: McDonald’S Book Exchange is now closed.

I tried to use a shortcut in Clyde Hill but it didn't work. I walked a ways back to Bellevue and did a probable final visit this trip to a Silver Platters. I got a couple of muffin sandwiches and a pop. Sandwich muffin a bit dry.

I got off at Columbia City Station and unfortunately he went to the same stop as me. Since it would be a whole before the bus arrived, I decided instead to walk. I briefly visited TT Mart before arriving at Seward Park. The washrooms used previously were closed (spider webs on the entrance to the men's room so it's been a while) so I went to another washroom nearby to change what into I want going to wear swimming. After a swim in Lake Washington, I had more of that lunch then circled the park. You could see Mercer Island in the background. After another swim I finished circling the park. I went to a bus stop but kept my eye on the other side because both were okay for my purposes. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">A bus going the other way arrived first so I took that 50 bus (King County Metro Transit) to Othello Station, took another 1 light rail to Westlake Station, then took the Seattle Center Monorail to Seattle Center. I left there just long enough to get a Slurpee from 7-11. I finished my lunch (now dinner) at the International Fountain and spent a few hours photographing the fountain, keeping kids out of the photos or at least making them hard to spot where possible. I was so relaxed I decided to stay there and skip ice cream at the hostel. I moved after youth played rap music with swearing too loud. I started to leave the fountain but found a nice area for sunset photos. I should have just left entirely as a woman started falsely accusing me of taking photos of children. Hope she's not there the next few days because the fountain is one of the few places where I can relax a few hours with my autism so it would be a shame if I couldn't due to false accusations. I really need to find a travelling companion to help me run interference when false accusations arise.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: There were no further problems with false accusations this trip.

I walked to the International District and visited the small concrete Hing Hay Park. At International District/Chinatown Station I added two daypasses onto my ORCA card. I entered the Downtown Transit Tunnel, formerly for buses, then for buses and the 1 Line light rail and now just the latter. I took that light rail (Sound Transit) to University Station.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">After breakfast at the Green Tortoise Hostel, I walked to Westlake Station. a guy asked if it was the other side of the tracks that we were both headed that the light rail to the Airport went. I replied in the affirmative and he just made the trail. I took the northbound 1 Line to University Station. I visited Drumheller Fountain at University of Washington then took the 1 Line to the current terminus station, Northgate (last Seattle trip it was University).</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took the double-decker 512 bus (Sound Transit; got an upper front seat) to Everett Station, Everett. I grabbed an Everett Transit schedule etc from Visitor Info there. I took a 202 bus (Community Transit) to Marysville. 3rd Avenue Books wasn't yet open but it was nice strolling the quaint stores on that side of the highway. On the other side were the box stores. I visited Big Lots (bought movies) and Rite Aid before taking a 201 bus (Community Transit; most of the route same as 202) back to Everett. I got Picard season 1 at Bargain CDs, visited Sound Loan (didn't want to buy anything (outside entrance had too many right wing rants including anti-background checks for guns), and Everett Comics. I took a 7 bus (Everett Transit) to near Everett Mall. In the mall had lunch at A&W, possibly for the first time in the US. Unlike in Canada they serve Pepsi, not Coke products.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: That Big Lots and Rite Aid were in Marysville Town Center, a strip mall.

I think I got off the bus too soon. I saw the bus I wanted, Blue Swift (Community Transit) go by. Heading south on foot I just made the next stop before the bus arrived. I took it to the Half Price Books in Lynnwood. I was early and my bus wasn't for another 50 minutes so I went to the nearby Big Lots (years ago it was the first one I ever visited) and bought a Venom energy drink. My hike to Silver Platters put me through construction. After that it took a bit of time trying to figure out how to get to Lynnwood's Barnes & Noble but I finally did. I visited Alderwood Mall, which has some nice art outside, including a horse statue (appears repainted since my last visit, likely recently), and a couple of art piece fountains.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 116 bus (Community Transit) to the west side of Edmonds. This area of Edmonds and the above area of Marysville were new to me though I had visited other areas in those cities before; everything else was a return. There are a few narrow streets of shops including Wit's End Bookstore. I visited Edmonds Ferry Terminal because I correctly guessed that it would have a chilled water fountain. I walked around some more. By one restaurant were a couple of nice very tasteful nude woman statues. I took a 130 bus (Community Transit) to Aurora Village Transit Center in Shoreline; my connecting bus took off as mine was arriving.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I finally took a connecting E Rapidride bus (King County Metro Transit) to Arcane Comics. I returned to the stop and ignored a crazy woman until my bus arrived. I got off in Seattle. I walked to Greenwood Eve. As I figured from my research, no Greenwood Parade this year. it's surprising how bland the street is without the parade energy. I visited Dreamstrands Comics, Couth Buzzard Books, and Santoro Books. A late 5 bus (King County Metro Transit) took me to near Seattle Center, where I visited the International Fountain, taking a break for Mod Pizza at the Seattle Center Armory. I decided to skip free beer at the hostel because I was enjoying the fountain too much. Besides, free *American* beer presumably. I finally took the Seattle Center Monorail to Westlake Center. Some police activity on 4th and to a lesser degree on 3rd.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I visited Rachel the Pig at Pike Place Market then returned to the hostel. I asked for ice cubes because I was overheating but they had used them up at the free beer. The guy thought the drinking fountain is pretty cool; it's lukewarm.

I did a brief walk to Pike Place Market including Rachel the Pig before returning to the hostel. The 594 bus (Sound Transit) I wanted to get never showed up so I had to wait until the next one. Unfortunately this meant I missed my connecting bus at SR512 Park and Ride and had to wait 50 minutes to ride the next one.

Intercity Transit buses are now free, but you have to board and exit from the back. Also the bus schedule I got is the final print version as it's going digital. I got off at the Capitol. I visited Tivoli Fountain. Near it is a drinking water fountain activated by foot pedal. This isn't new to this drinking water fountain but not a bad idea for pandemic era fountains. I noticed you could go inside the Capitol but didn't know the photography rules so I went inside and snapped a few shots without walking too far.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I walked down a path to Capitol Lake. I went to Bank of America and asked a security woman if the fastest means to access an ATM was inside. She said yes. I couldn't find one so spoke to a teller. The partnership with Scotiabank is ATM only and the nearest one was right by the security guard, At Olympia Transit Center I took a 62B bus to Lacey, where I visited Gabi's Sports Cards and Comics.I started to take the 60 bus back to Olympia but I noticed it took 10 minutes longer than the 62B and would cause me to miss a connection so I got off and took the 62B bus back to Olympia Transit Center.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 48 bus to Capital Mall and walked to a McDonald's near the Barnes and Noble. So after lunch at the former I did a short visit to the latter. After four years I forgot which block Half Price Books Outlet (was but I finally found it and bought three DVDs there). I was honest and admitted that another copy of one had a higher price but I was given the lower price. I returned to the mall and just made a 47 bus back to the transit center. I visited Browsers' Bookshop and then walked into the water jets at Heritage Fountain to cool off. I walked to the Star Wars Mural but it was partly obscured by food cars and thus diners. When I left Victoria, Last Word Books was moving but hadn't reopened. I correctly guessed they would now be reopened. I also visited Danger Room Comics, Rainy Day Records (bought a couple DVDs) and the new location of Orca Books Outlet (no sign of the cat, just its food, bed etc).</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I visited Sylvester Park and then a few art pieces by the waterfront. I took a 620 bus back to the Park & Ride; like me another guy took photos of the Capitol. I transferred to a 594 Sound Transit bus to Westlake Park in Seattle. | went to the Westlake Center stop of the Seattle Center Monorail and took it to Seattle Center. I bought dinner from the nearby 7-11 and took it to the International Fountain in Seattle Center. It went dormant sooner than expected (around 7:15). I briefly watched a marching band practicing, likely for the Torchlight Parade. I visited the off leash Regrade Park. City Hostel Seattle again had someone inside but not at the front disk. I revisited Rachel the Pig at Pike Place Market.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The hostel was serving free ice cream so I got access to my new room and then went for the ice cream but that was now stopped for the evening.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p></p>Andy E.

I returned and a woman agreed to watch my stuff as I went for walk. I returned to the springs and got soaked again. I didn't want to do much wandering beyond that so I returned to the stop and only leave the area for replenishing drinking water. One person seeing that I was overheating gave me a Coke. Eventually it turned out that the Greyhound wouldn't arrive at all today, though a Flixbus was coming at 3. A woman heard me panicking because I had no phone service and would likely lose my hostel room, and with her daughter's help bought me a ticket. I didn't have money to give her so I gave her my email in case she ever needs a favour. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I made it to Seattle. At the Green Tortoise Hostel the guy who checked my photos a few days ago seemed pleased that I did return for a seven day stretch. I got some money at a Bank of America ATM (they partner with Scotiabank) and walked to Seattle Settle, visiting the International Fountain, grabbing dinner at Mod Pizza, and eating it at the fountain, keeping an eye on a hungry seagull. I returned to the hostel and started laundry but due to losing those eight hours, it might be after midnight before I can get the laundry taken out of the dryer and I want to get up before 6 for tomorrow's plans.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p></p>Andy E.

I got up and ate at the nearby McDonald's (NW Portland Hostel technically has breakfast but a single bagel and coffee or tea). I walked downtown more or less following the Blue/Red MAX path). At Pioneer Square pigeons were using a human drinking fountain, two even sharing the same spout. I visited Mill Ends Park and Salmon Street Springs, then crossed Hawthorne Bridge to the east end and back; bikes go beside pedestrians but can only travel on the same side of the bridge as cars going the same direction. I'm guessing it's to help keep pedestrians and other bikers safe.. I visited Ira Keller Fountain (has concrete layers). I returned to Pioneer Square and got more pigeon drinking photos. Started to have problems shooting video, but video worked later on. I took a Red MAX light rail (all transportation today TriMet unless noted) to Airport Station. I did a brief visit to Portland International Airport. I returned to the same light rail but security shouted at me to enter a different car than the one I was going to. A guy inside that car was showing symptoms of COVID. I took a different car in that light rail to Parker/Sumner Station. After a bit of a wait, a 21 bus took me to the municipality of Wood Village. I walked back a ways so I could also say I've been to Fairview, then returned to Wood Village and walked to Troutdale. I hadn't been to those three communities before. Troutdale has a nice historical downtown area. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I crossed a bridge over the Sandy River.

A bus went by as I was entering the store and frequent service has a different meaning on Sundays especially during COVID, so I hiked a ways. A bookstore I hadn't known about, Black Books had a sign saying they were open but the door was locked. I dashed to a 6 bus and my mask fell out of my pants pocket. I decided that the bus was the priority and took it south a ways to near a McDonald's.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: Actually Rose City occupies the same spot that Bridge City did but is a different store.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> I took another 6 to Hawthorne St, where I waited 15 minutes for a bus before giving up and still actually made the 18 blocks before a bus going my direction turned up. I bought a trade at Excalibur Comics. I hiked/bused (14) a ways north and visited Powell's on Hawthorne. I also visited Hawthorne Game Exchange in the same location as the CD/Game Exchange that used to be there. I saw a bus coming but was overheated and was looking to get photos of the hostel I stayed at in my first trip to Portland and let it go; right after I found the old hostel and saw that it's been fenced off. I bought a Slurpee at a 7-11. I got a penny change and asked for my receipt. The guy briefly got confused and tried to give me another penny instead of the receipt. I didn't mind walking downtown because it reminded me of doing so from that hostel on my first trip.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I crossed Hawthorne Bridge downtown and took a Blue Line MAX light rail from Pioneer Square to Washington Park. I took an elevator up to ground level. I walked around a little and took a free shuttle (run by the park) to the Holocaust War memorial. I walked to Burnside and took a 20 bus part way to Everyday Music on Burnside. I usually spend more time there but the hours are shorter this year so only the one visit. I did get some DVDs including a For Your Consideration (Emmy submission) copy of Fifty Reasons Why.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I visited Powell's, then took a NS Line B Loop version of the Portland Streetcar (similar looking to other light rail but only one car). It was crowded and I only took it one stop but that got me close enough for another visit to Mill Ends Park and Salmon Street Springs. I did some more wandering including inside Pioneer Place and then had dinner at Taco Bell before returning here early to pack for tomorrow. I accidentally recently left my soap in the shower recently.

Being a bit sleep-deprived (probably the most sleep I've gotten in a single night since the trip began has been 6 hours) | didn't think to check my passport until much later; see below.

I got a daypass from the Galeria/10th MAX Station and visited Mill Ends Park and Salmon Street Springs). At Pioneer Square West MAX Station I look a Red Line light rail (all Oregon only travel today TriMet) and took it to Gateway/99th Ave Station, where I transferred to a Green Line train. Normally the latter starts downtown but not for the first Sat trip of the day. I took it to Clackamas Town Center. I think the latter is between municipalities strictly speaking, though a case could of course be made for Clackamas.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Here is where using an older map book failed me. I didn't want to wait 25 minutes for a bus so I took a route involving two highways. However, likely due to highway construction since the book was made, I found myself way further east than expected, though the right amount of south. To make matters worse I realized too late that even if my book had been accurate, there was still a faster route I could have taken. I worked my way to the small city of Johnson City, probably not even 2 sq km. Because I have a friend with the surname Johnson and I don't know if she's reading these, I'll forego the obvious jokes. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: I passed through Clackamas and Oatfield en route.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">While there I visited Lake Leona at Mordock Park. It's a nice little area; I just wish I had taken the route that probably would have gotten me there maybe even an hour sooner. The next bus was half hourly or so and I didn't know when the next one was to arrive (many stops require an App instead of posted schedules). I decided to hike to Gladstone instead of busing it there, in part because I wanted to cross a bridge on foot. In between municipalities I visited a grocery store called Tombstone which looks like a western store from the outside, Sadly there was no effort to continue the theme inside. I knew the food etc would be modern, I just wanted western decorations.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: I walked through Oatfield again en route to Gladstone; that’s where Tombstone was.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">After hiking through Gladstone I crossed a bridge into Oregon City (this was the bridge I wanted to cross on foot again but next time I'll probably save time and bus it straight there). I got a large Coke with a bit of Orange Fanta at McDonald's. I briefly crossed another bridge to West Linn and back, seeing the not that impressive Willamette Falls, though I liked them many a little more this time; but they've bedn molded into an industrial complex. On the way back was the biggest highlight of the day. I saw a guy looking away from the falls and realized he was looking a hawk or osprey. It soon flew to a lower and closer branch so I got some incredible zoomed in shots of it.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: It was actually a peregrine falcon.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">At Oregon City Transit Center I accidentally let the 33 bus I wanted leave; the wrong one terminates at Clackamas Town Center and the right one at Clackamas Community Collage, so the similar names through me off.

I took a 33 bus to McLoughlin and Park MAX Station, in Oak Grove I think. I took an Orange becoming yellow light rail to Delta/VanPort Station, where I took a 60 bus to Vancouver WA; this bus and all in Greater Vancouver C-TRAN. Due to construction my itinerary didn't have the right times and the bus I wanted wasn't going to be there for a while. A 32 bus (no connection with the TriMet bus of the same number I took earlier) showed up with Hazel Dell as a destination and I was going to that municipality so I got on. However, it went east at first before going north so I wound up at Vancouver Mall, since I had planned to got there after my immediate destination, I decided to reverse that bit on the itinerary, so getting off well before Hazel Dell. I checked the next bus of the one on my itinerary going reverse; about 18 minutes and hourly. I didn't think I'd make it. I bought an overpriced but tasty combo at Orange Julius (I went with strawberry Julius and bacon and cheese dog), saving the chips for later. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The MAX Station was indeed in Oak Grove.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">i visited fye and then much to my surprise made it back to the bus stop on time. I took the 78.bus to Hazel Dell, accidentally getting off a stop early but not too bad. I visited Interstellar Overdrive (sci-fi themed bookstore) and then headed south. I didn't know if the next bus was a minute away or an hour (the App issue again) so I started running just in case. This bus I wanted, 31 did pass me when I was too far between stops.

I considered a third book, but it was a B&W collection that didn't translate well to B&W (New Gods; Jack Kirby at his most cosmic). I walked to Esther Short Park, but there was some sort of fair happening. Given security I probably couldn't get in for free. I wanted to get photos from the waterfront but most of it was hard to get to, though a guy did point out an area where I got some decent shots.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I then walked from Vancouver to Portland, crossing over the Columbia River. I was a bit nervous because it was a bit windy and the railings didn't go that high/ I found I could shoot to the right but only look forward. This walk took me to Hayden Island in about 15 minures. I should have taken a bus the rest of the way to a light rail station but I also wanted to cross to the mainland on foot.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I arrived at Expo Centre but much of it was fenced off and it's a big building, so it took about another 15 minutes after arriving at Expo Center to reach its MAX Station. I took the Yellow downtown, deciding to skip Milwaukie, being tired from all the walking/running. Switching memory cards I discovered that my colour image on my passport was now a lot more faded due to the water damage. After visiting Salmon Street Springs and Mill Ends Park, I checked with the hostel if they had scanned in the passport, hoping for a colour image that I could show to illustrate the water damage but they hadn't. I don't think |I'll get turned away because the smaller B&W image looks okay and US Customs has been taking photos, but it's certainly possible I'll get turned away somewhere (bus to Seattle, or returning home, less likely, the hostel because I was there recently) which worries me. I visited Floating World Comics. I asked the two people there if there were fast food places nearby. The woman kept pushing the food vans. My experience with them, at least in Portland is you could watch your infant children grow up and become parents in the time it takes for the servers to make the food.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0000pt; margin-left: 0.0000pt; margin-right: 0.0000pt; margin-top: 5.0000pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5.0000pt; margin-left: 0.0000pt; margin-right: 0.0000pt; margin-top: 5.0000pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-font-kerning: 0.0000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: Floating World Comics has now moved.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I had dinner at the same Taco Bell as yesterday.

You can see the tents all over, not just in the downtown core. I took some shots from light rails, not to shame anyone but because it would have been dishonest not to record that aspect of Portand, even if not to the degree I would record other things. it's very run down and you can see not just tents everywhere but people randomly sleeping. Some people talk about Victoria's homeless problem but we have it a lot better than Portland. Another indicator that the city's gotten run down is that some of the lesser MAX stations have closed. | don't know if it can be reversed, but at the moment it's an ailing city.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p></p>Andy E.

I took a Blue Line MAX train (all light rail today TriMet) to Beaverton Transit Center, Beaverton. I did a brief walk and then returned to the transit centre and took a WES light rail to Wilsonville Transit Center, Wilsonville. Both SMART and Cherriots Transit share the 1x bus. For the first time since I rode a 1x bus it was SMART. I like that bus a bit more because it doesn't have a bill reader that has trouble reading bills. I took the bus to the McDonald's near the Oregon State Capitol, Salem. Not to be confused with the more infamous Salem, this one is a nice relaxing place to visit.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">After breakfast I walked through Capitol Park and visited the World War II Memorial. I got a Salem area daypass at Downtown Transit Center. I took Marion Street Bridge over Willamette River to West Salem, which is still part of Salem proper but in a different county. I wandered Wallace Park and the nearest shopping area before taking a foot and bike bridge back to the east side.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 2 bus (all Greater Salem buses Cherriots Transit) east a ways and wanted to visit a mall a little ways south but it didn't open until 11.

At fye I bought a Mystery Science Theater 3000 set plus a few $1 movies. I then visited the new store nearby Radar Toys and Comics. As I waited for the bus I finally got the glass out of my shoe. I took the 15 bus up north. I think I was in Keizer when I got off the bus but if I wasn't I was when I visited walking west. I visited Tony's Kingdom of Comics which was having a sale but not anything I was interested in.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: it was definitely Keizer when I got off the bus.

I bought 20 DVDs, all horror as per my informal tradition with that store. I got different deals than I thought I was getting but the total came to about $18 less. I got a beagle kiss. I spotted the guy helping me put the wrong disc into a case. Hope I didn't miss any other wrong discs. I'm particularly intrigued by Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula; I'm a sucker for a movie with an interesting title. I took a 19 bus back to the Downtown Transit Center. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: Mr. Video of course did finish closing down.]</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Being loaded down by DVDs I wanted to take a bus back to West Salem but it proved to be faster to hike. After visit visiting Book Bin (they have a cat but I couldn't find it) I visited Reader's Choice and had lunch at McDonald's. Again the timing didn't work for me with the bus so I took the foot trail back to the east side and walked to Harvest Music. They have some DVDs but it's so crammed it was even hard to see some titles and it was hard to navigate with another customer, I doubt I'll ever buy anything there. It's just so cramped that I visit out of fascination that it's still in business.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">There are some artificial and I think real water bodies nearby, e.g. at the Civic Center. I wandered around some more a bit randomly, revisiting the Capitol area, visiting another Rite Aid, checking Book Bin a second time for the cat. I finally went to Downtown Transit Center where I took another 1x bus (this time Cherriots Transit with its ornery bill machines) to Wilsonville.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Normally I head straight back to Portland from there but decided this time to explore Wilsonville a bit, including the Town Center loop and the Town Center Park, which has Korean War memorial. Wasn't that captivated with Wilsonville but I satisfied my curiosity. I took a free 4 bus (SMART) back to Wilsonville Transit Center. I got on the WES train after it arrived. All WES stations have pay phones surprisingly as well as some nice small sculptures. At Beaverton Transit Center I switched to an operating but malfunctioning Blue Line light rail (name of next station and announcements incorrect, thus sometimes which exit doors were incorrect).</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I got off in Portland near Mill Ends Park. I think I got better shots of myself with the park this time. After visiting Salmon Street Springs I looked around for a place I wanted to eat (including inside Pioneer Place which inverse to the rest of downtown Portland seemed more high end than before) but to no avail, I walked east and then north. Someone had spray painted on a sculpture of a mother and child elephant. I was getting late and I was hungry so I skipped Powell's. I passed the usual McDonald’s near the hostel and found a Taco Bell. I was hesitant but it was actually good. I think the reason for my hesitancy was the name sounds a bit like Taco Time, which actually is bad. But even though I usually prefer it to Coke, the Pepsi was off; I think one container was actually cherry Pepsi. At the Northwest Portland Hostel I did another check for my padlock key. I finally found a key on a thin counter with a few things of others'. It proved to be my missing key. As before I am typing this outside in the Secret Garden area. Haven't had a beer yet (I will) but I'm getting some more fresh air while doing these reports.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p></p>Andy E.

I tried to find a worker but no luck. You can only reach them at night if you have cell coverage in the US. After downing a second can of beer really fast to help me sleep (still Pub Beer). I got maybe 3.5 or more hours' sleep before my alarm woke me up at 5:35.

I took a Blue Line MAX light rail (with one exception all transportation today TriMet Transit) to Gresham Central Station in Gresham. There I got on an 84 bus. Due to a quirk with that model's buses, it started to close as I tried to enter before reopening. It's the last run for that bus until the afternoon, which is why I had to set the alarm so early. I took it south to an area between municipalities I think.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I walked further south. One farm apparently not Democrat has a sign saying that a batch of eggs was $10 plus $5 Biden Tax. From up ahead by an overpass I briefly saw a small deer or large bird. I made it to "downtown" Boring. I took photos of myself by a SE Andy St sign. Boring still has most of the usual fun signs including announcing Boring & Dull Day with Dull Scotland. I visited Green Food Mart, McCall's (got an ice tea; was going to try a type I hadn't had before, but the cashier rightfully suggested I go with a colder can), and Shell. So all three were as usual open before 8: 30. I passed Boring Mini-Storage and Boring Square Garden Center around that time (above not in exact order). Before going to the Shell I saw the new Vietnam Memorial at Boring Trailhead Park. And of course I visited Boring Middle School from the outside. Signs referring to Boring MS Students were gone, so perhaps someone realized that MS has another common meaning, and Shell's Food Mart no longer says Boring Shell on the door..I cut through Boring Trailhead Park before heading east. A sharp peddle got onto the sole of my left shoe and started jabbing my food. I got it out but now that shoe has a vulnerable point. Near the Mt Hood Highway, Boring Bark and Landscaping now has an image of a dog saying "Woof" by the word "Bark"</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Because no buses stop at or near Boring I did a long trek south to Sandy. There was a new jiu-jitsu club (or at least new location) by a cemetery. I thought martial arts were just for self defense? I got into town later than planned so decided to stay past my scheduled departure time. I grabbed a $1 large Coke from McDonald's. I got a couple schedules from the Visitor info place. Among the amusing names were Sandy Beer (must have an interesting texture) and Sandy Chainsaw (risky). AntFarm Cafe's name is obviously intentional. I passed one stop that was closed for construction. The next one also had construction near it but didn't say it was closed, but a bus whipped past me. I went to a library book store I originally passed on due to lack of time and bought three DVDs. I played it safe and went to the Sandy Transit Center. One hour later than planned (half the time intentionally, half the time unintentionally) I took a Sandy Area Metro bus (that exception) back to Gresham Central. I took a Blue Line Max light rail to Beaverton Central in Beaverton. I visited Things from Another World, had lunch at McDonald's and visited Powell's. I headed south and dashed towards a bus stop as a 57 bus approached. He left me on before the stop. I got off near Rainy Day Games in Aloha, but they had no regular DVDs there. I took another bus to Hillsboro Central in Hillsboro and visited Arcade Book Exchange; didn't linger due to narrow corridors. At the Blue Lines's west terminus station, Hatfield/Government, I saw people were on one of the two trains there and got on that one, but the other took off first. I got off the Blue line near Lloyd Center in Portland. They have an ice rink in the mall. I visited Barnes & Noble.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Heading southeast, I passed where Sunshine Milk with the giant rotating milk cartoon on the roof used to be before the business closed. Well, it no longer rotates and looks pretty dirty, but that giant milk carton is still there. I felt somehow comforted to know it was still around. I visited Future Dreams Comics but it's apparently closed for browsing for now.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 15 bus to Movie Madness, the last video store in Portland; for part of the bus ride I didn't have a window seat and couldn't get photos, but that's bound to happen. I bought a Blu-ray and got permission to take photos of movie memorabilia. Among the items were the suit worn by the "monster" in Young Frankenstein, the knife wielded by the killer (at least in costume; being intentionally vague here) in Scream, and part of the suit worn by Frank Morgan's non-Wizard character in the Wizard of Oz. I took a 15 bus downtown and visited Salmon Street Springs and Mill Ends Park. I tried to get photos of Mill Ends Park and myself, but it's hard to do that with such a small park. I crossed Morrison Bridge over the Willamette River and back. I briefly visited the concrete Director Park (has Teacher's Fountain). I wanted to get dinner at 7-11 but it was closed and Target didn't have any suitable dinner items so I finally gave up, took a Blue or Red train back to Providence Park and grabbed dinner from McDonald's again, too sleepy to continue the hunt.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></b></p><p></p>Andy E.

I got up, visited Rachel the Pig at Pike Place Market, the took the Harbor Steps (wide concrete steps wight seating areas, water fountains of sorts, etc) down to the waterfront, which I wandered around for a few minutes before returning to the hostel via the Steps. I checked out before having breakfast and spilling orange juice on myself. I walk to Seattle Center including International Fountain (same decorations as yesterday) before waiting near the Space Needle and Museum of Pop Culture (MoPop) for the Flixbus to Portland. There were no signs marking the stop. Around the time the bus was 25 minutes late I checked with taxi drivers in case I had somehow missed it. One of them assured me it was still coming. Soon after I saw a white coach style with no markings on the side drive up. I checked and it was indeed the Flixbus.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">He announced an ETA for the next stop (International District) that had already passed and one for SeaTac Airport that I knew he couldn't make on time, but he actually slightly beat the Tacoma ETA. Normally I like to seat at the front but too many objects were on the front window to take good photos so i sat one seat to the back and occasionally took front photos for reference. At the Tacoma stop by Tacoma Dome Station a guy with a probably disability that caused him to be in persistent motion took that front seat. The motion was a bit distracting though he did settle down a bit as the trip went on. The only other stop was Portland, which the bus arrived at a little ahead, at Union Station.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The walk to the hostel wasn't too bad; some places you can't go straight all the way to 18th due to a freeway below, but at that area the freeway actually passed above the street. I checked in at the hostel. Stuck with upper bunk this time. I got help because power wasn't turning on for battery chargers, then walked to McDonald's; take out only again likely due to the virus. I walked to Providence Park MAX Station where I bought a daypass.

The 78 bus arrived. Noticing that the bus skipped announcing some stops, I asked the driver to let me know when we reached my stop. He felt he had already passed it so I got off at a stop in Lake Oswego and went back. Asking directions I learned that he had not reached it. So I took a route that was better from where I now was, to Booktique. There was a shortcut to the stop I was supposed to get off at but a couple people I asked proved to be non-local so I took a less direct route to that stop. i did spot the other end of the shortcut en route to the stop. I took another 78 bus to Oswego Transit Center. Was briefly confused trying to find my next destination, another Booktique by two things: when the 300s become the 400s the odds and evens change sides. And the store was up a staircase, not at ground level. After that I visited Millennium Park; in one corner you can see Salmon Bay. Before finding the bay I drank a lot of water at a fountain,. Returning to the transit center, I walked to the nearby Safeway, but they wanted too much for pop.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I took a 78 bus (I learned that the bus did announce that one stop) to Portland Community College, Sylvania Campus; I think that's in Portland proper. After a long wait I took a 44 bus to Annie Bloom Books. I was in an interesting narrow market corridor. A 45 bus arrived just as I was leaving the store. I would have liked to have explored the area more, but the long waits and misdirection soured me on lingering. I got off further away from my destination, the Portland Aerial Tram than I expected, though part of the route I look took proved to be underneath the tram on a bridge, which was a first for me. For the first time since I got off the Blue MAX I was finally somewhere familiar. That Barnes & Noble, the two Booktiques, and Annie Bloom being new to me, though I have some familiarity with Tigard Transit Center. The tram is good for nice aerial views of the city, though being part of a hospital system you do have to wear a mask, which is hard if you have a touch sensitivity. Mine broke but I was given a new one. At the top the driver saw me taking photos and recommended a viewing area I hadn't been too before, happily not a mask area. i took some photos there before returning to the lower end. A guy was arguing with security. After he left I asked them to pass along my thanks to that one driver for the suggestion. The guy who replied seemed relived to have some good news to deliver.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I walked to a nearby Orange/Yellow MAX station at a bridge (Marquam?); Orange is the south end colour, Yellow the north). I got off downtown and visited Mill Ends Park, the world's smallest park, located in the middle of a crosswalk. New since the last time I was there was a marker. I think a lot of people think at first that the larger park by the waterfront is Mill Ends. There is a plant that I could probably step over if I was so inclined. I walked to the nearby Salmon Street Springs (water jets) and then took a Red line MAX light rail back to Providence Park MAX station. I got takeout at McDonald's then walked to Powell's Books, a bookstore so large it takes up a full block. The top floor/Pearl Room has vintage typewriters this time. I bought I book on Superman's creator, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster. I walked to Fred Myers and bought a six pack of beer. I hate to admit it because I usually prefer Canadian beer, but the local beer I bought, Pub Beer is as good as any Canadian beer. The truth hurts but I can't lie; it really is a very tasty beer. I drank it at the Secret Garden area (drinking area outside) of this hostel, Northwest Portland Hostel. Happily given I was last year five years ago, the WiFi password must be unchanged because I connected automatically.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[NOW: The MAX station I got on was South Waterfront/S Moody and the bridge was Tilikum Crossing.

The police soon learned that he was part of a group of guys who actually believed they were in romantic relationships with horses with the forbidden act being just one component to the romance. This made me curious enough to visit in 2018 and I liked it well enough to return. I wandered around; by the washrooms downtown, there is in fact a horse statue.

Ballard was having its Seafoodfest which only rarely coincides with my trip. At or near the far end of the Seafoodfest market was Bergen Place, which has plant sculptures that one guide book describes as being like something out of Dr. Seuss books.

I visited the apparently recently repainted Center of the Universe signpost (shows various distances). I zoomed in to get shots of Rapunzel on the Fremont Bridge; the painted yellow hair appeared to be gone. I visited the Waiting for the Interurban statue (people waiting for non-existent transportation), then JP Patches & Gertrude: Late for the Interurban statue, based on popular children show characters/clowns. Chris Wedes (JP) died just before a previous visit and Bob Newman (Gertrude) died after my last trip to Seattle.

I got some nice photos at Kerry Park Viewpoint, which is a good place to get photos of Seattle Center and downtown. I wanted to return to Seattle Center, but decided I'd better check in at the hostel first. Happily I got a lower bunk, my preference. I returned to Seattle Center and ate at Mod Pizza at Seattle Center Armory (same price regardless of number of toppings). I relaxed at the International Fountain awhile.

This is her story in her words, with some editing for clarity by me.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I am a Canadian citizen who first flew to Saudi Arabia on January 1 2014 to teach ESL at the University of Hail. I met my future husband online on May 28, at a dating site called muslima.com. I now believe he was an Internet predator, but I didn’t see it at the time. We talked lots of times over audio and video calls, until we got comfortable with each other. He proposed to me and I accepted. We hadn’t yet met in person, but he was charming enough to convince me he was a good and honest guy who would make a good husband.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I had to send him personal information for him to do this. He was completely able to fool me over everything. I had to visit him in October to get blood tests as part of the marriage permission process. I did so, and met him, his sister, and his sister’s kids for the first time that month.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I got moved from the University of Hail in December 2014 when some students, their parents, and university staff found out i was going to marry a Saudi guy. I was transferred Riyadh for a few weeks then in late January 2015 I was moved to Rowdah Jeddah where I taught at a small English school. Upon arriving in Jeddah, I saw a few strange things happen. I stayed with him a few weeks at his resort home. He soon kicked me out to a hotel then drove away then disappeared on me. During that time, I think secret police picked him up then would interrogate him, I heard this in one voice message he left me saying it’s better we are not together. We only met a few times then; he didn’t get marriage permission yet. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">After getting kicked out, I was in a hotel a few weeks until I moved in with a Pakistan girl roommate. During this time, the school never paid me or gave me housing at all. I hired a lawyer and sued the school I was working for. I won in this instance, in part due to a newspaper article.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I didn’t break up with him after getting kicked out because I understood that an unmarried couple couldn’t live together. We didn’t talk for a few months. Finally he called me one day in June, while I was staying with that friend, to say he got marriage permission. He paid contacts 50,000 sr under the table to get it, telling me he would marry me under the condition that he kept his first wife. I agreed to marry him because It was blind love. I met a much nicer guy too. The easy way out is at times the wrong way out. If i had married the nicer guy i think i would be happy and have a kid now too. I regret all this.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I thought the guy I married loved me, but over time it’s clear he only wanted a misyar or simple sex marriage. I was open minded about being a second wife as long as I had my rights as a Saudi wife.Life could have been decent and okay. But he made it into misyar after the fact.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I then learned that he married me in court then registered me under one if his companies to be able to control me. I was never registered under his family card and didn’t get any rights at all. If I angered him he could list me as a harub or runaway. He never gave me money or any support. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">He was also having marital troubles with his first wife, to the point where he kicked her out of the villa he owned in Jeddah. The two of them have nine kids. It became apparent to me that she only wanted to use him for money and a home, and did whatever she could to ruin things for me, and try to drive a wedge between my husband and I, even though having multiple wives is normal for me in the region. On weekends we would go and visit his mom. I could feel she and the rest of the family hated me.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">He was unstable, nervous too, easy to shake up. I think he was angry that I kept asking for simple rights and there wasn’t much food in the home at the time. He got angry and stormed off. I tried to find him but couldn’t. He came back later. He punched me in the arm and pushed me. It was very scary.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Then one day under false pretenses he moved me to his mom’s villa without my consent and left me there. One of his sons from the first wife told me he bought the place for the other wife to have. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">This is where all the problems and worse violence began. I think his stress and and his mental illness made me worse. He would start getting more unstable and would flip out over anything easily. Like if I asked for food or a small home or go to school. He only made only sex visits only a day or so he would never stay a long time. He started hitting me with the power cord that charges the old laptop he gave me. Also, hitting with fists, a pillow and pushing. Days i got no food and left alone at his mom’s home, no driver, no one to talk to. I think he enjoyed the power over me.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The first time I was raped was the day he moved me into his mom’s villa. We had left his resort and went to his moms villa and i was tired and he wasn’t at all. He would take what he wanted by force and guilt. Another time it was before he left for his home In Jeddah.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">He would only make sex visits. Instead of getting me a small place of my own, he decided to fix his driver’s home instead. He left me there alone all week with no money and little food. His other wife got money, a huge villa of her own, a maid, and her own driver, which showed me I was secondary to who he considered to be his real wife. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I just got badly mistreated and left abandoned in two dingy rooms, a bedroom and a small sitting room in the first floor where his sons from his first wife were living. It had no private door or entrance of its own. I was basically kidnapped. I wanted to leave him but I was stuck, no place to go or help. With no Saudi passport I couldn’t leave without his permission and most people were afraid of him. I was afraid for my life with him. There are guardianship loophole and laws where women are concerned.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I didn’t so much escape from him as he kicked me out. I started a divorce. He then threatened and begged me to drop it. I stayed with an older Canada couple in Riyadh until they moved back to Canada.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">I have tried to get him from the Canadian Embassy in Riyadh as well as contacting Ottawa, but I have been unsuccessful. I have been jailed twice trying to get home, once in an actual jail, once in the detention centre at the airport. I have been unable to gain all the necessary documents needed to fly out of Saudi Arabia. I have been staying at a dirty hotel in Riyadh with limited funds. I realize now what a mistake it was to marry him, but I don’t have the resources to fix my mistake on my own.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">[Andy again.

Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip.</p><p></p><div>Got up at 5 and took care of some of the checking out process.
Walked to Dufferin and the east along Bloor. One rude idiot decided to
spook me from a car. Had breakfast at the McDonald's On Bloor St E and
then continued on over Prince Edward Viaduct to where Bloor becomes
Danforth and walked a ways there, slightly further east than I normally
do. A former theatre got converted to a Circle K/Tim Horton's, with the
above on the marquee. Heading back, I rested at a fountain in the Greektown part of Danforth.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: The fountain was at Alexander the Great Parkette.]<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Returning to Bloor, I
walked down Yonge to Yonge-Dundas Square, where I relaxed a bit at the
water jets. I walked to the former location of Backpackers on Dundas.
Even though it's now something else, I walked up the short outside
staircase to recapture par of the feel of walking to and from there. I
also revisited Toronto Coach Terminal largely to get some final shots.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I
got to BMV books on Edward St just before it opened and bought a Lex
Luthor hardcover. I walked along Yonge and Bloor to Thunder Struck,
thinking of getting a collection I saw there, but it didn't open until
12. I crossed the street to Bloor's BMV Books, where I got some Blu-ray s
and comic trades, plus a hardcover omnibus of Batman's earliest stories.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: The title of the latter was Batman: The Golden Age Omnibus. Some of the Blu-rays were seasons of Sons of Anarchy; for one season I realized too late they had put in DVDs instead.]<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I
walked to College and visited The Beguiling. I managed to find the new
location of Neurotica Records, but it didn't open for over half an hour.
I made it to Queen St, where I had lunch at a Subway. Bone tired from
the trip in general and also from today's heavy purchases, I "hit a
wall" and decided it was effectively time to end the trip.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
returned to Parkdalle Hostelerie and retrieved by luggage from where I
put it on the middle floor (my room was on the top floor but reception
is on the middle floor. It was too hard to take photos and wheel two
suitcases so I did a few stops here and there as I made my way to the
bus stop a short distance away. I got on the 29 bus (all pre-flight
transportation today Toronto Transit) and took it to Dufferin Station. I
found a place where I could show my bus transfer to enter the subway
system. I took the 2 Bloor-Danforth train to Kipling Station and from
there took a 900 bus to Pearson Airport Terminal 3, Mississauga.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: The 900 bus is called the Airport Express.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The
only check in options seemed to be self-serve, but I managed to pay6
using the machine and then find the suitcase drop off. I briefly rested
outside but decided to go through security sooner than later as it can
get busy. The put your things through the x-ray as you scan then, so
your stuff can be briefly split with others' in between. I was randomly
selected, but only for a hand swab, my favourite kind of enhanced
screening. By this point security had gone through my backpack. One guy
thought I had packed the yellow pages. It was almost for sure my map book
he saw but I was too tired to correct him. I repacked the stuff you
have to take out (mini-notebook, cameras). I did a little exploring before finding a place to sit down and type this. </div><div><br /></div><div>[NOW: As noted in the last sentence all of the above was written at Pearson.]</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Went from where I was relaxing to my gate, which was further away
than expected and included among other things going down an escalator,
crossing a hall, and going up another. Remembering my trip over that had
one window seat that had no windows, I asked about that but the woman
couldn't understand <span style="line-height: 1.5;">the question and
insisted in my phrasing it in a way so as to let her answer what I
already knew, i.e. that I already had a window seat</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">).
Grabbed a sandwich at Tim Horton's. The seat had a window but a jet took up a
lot of the view. There was a toddler behind me but only noisy at start and end of
flight. Probably didn't miss much in terms of photos due to clouds. One
flight attendant looked like Colonel Sanders. There were two drink and
snack runs but no extra water runs like the trip over. Again, no screen
showing where the plane was.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Arriving
at Vancouver International Airport in Richmond I had a nice visit with
my friend Rachel. We found a decent food court and I had a Wendy's meal.
After we passed through security, I was worried as usual about the body
scanners and|I did again get beeped, but somehow my body knew what was
really going to happen because I automatically put my hand out after
the beep. It was indeed a hand swab. At my gate now waiting for the
announcement to board for home.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">[NOW: The last two paragraphs were written at Vancouver International. The rest was written at home.]</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Not much left so might as well finish. The overhead bin had stuff spread
out. I considered calling for flight attendant assistant, but rather
than hold up the line, I shifted things myself. it was very dark and
rainy but I was further from any view obstruction so the lights from
Richmond below during takeoff looked pretty magical. Quick flight to
Victoria International Airport, North Saanich. The security area looked
completely different from two weeks ago so a good portion of the
construction must have been completed while I was away. My checked in
suitcase made it okay. Not many people so it was a Tofino bus to
Victoria I think. Everyone else got off at one stop and the driver let
me off across from my place, which apparently was easier for him anyway
than Embassy Inn. Outsides of elevator doors in my building apparently
painted yellow while away.

Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip. </p><p></p><div>Got up around 5:45 and walked to the King St McDonald's. Kiosk
receipt worked I think. Order took a while; even the front staff got a bit
annoyed at the back staff. I walked to Exhibition Place and arrived at
Exhibition GO Station. The Lakeshore West train (GO
Transit/Metrolinx) arrived right away. I thought I had dropped my Visa
card but found it in another compartment. I got off at Port Credit GO
Station, Mississauga. I walked down to the waterfront at St. Laurent
Park and walked briefly along the main drag of Port Credit. Returning to
the GO Station, I asked if I could make the starting location Union
Station instead of Exhibition Station, same price. Good thing I asked
because the machine had given me a daypass to Guelph instead. I paid
the difference, got the corrected pass, and took another Lakeshore West train to
Oakville GO Station, Oakville.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I stayed at Parkdale Hostellerie. That McDonald's has moved east a ways.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In Oakville
after passing Hog's Back Park I walked along Kerr to the waterfront. I
was going to wander a little ways but there was construction. on the
main drag I crossed a river and was going to wander further but there
was construction there as well. I made my way to Comic Connection, wh<span style="line-height: 1.5;">ere
there's a pop machine with a "Let the Lord Decide" button. I can't pass
up mystery buttons on pop machines so I tried it I was bestowed upon me
Lemon-Lime Sprite. Not bad. I walked to The Beat Goes On. It was 15
minutes before opening. I decided I didn't feel like waiting to returned
to Oakville GO Station.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
took another </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Lakeshore West train to Appleby GO Station in Burlington. I visited
another The Beat Goes On before Lunch at Burger King. I made my way to
Spencer Smithy Park at the waterfront and found a spot that goes up a
small ways to give a nice view of the waterfront. I visited Book Nook
and A Different Drummer Books before walking to Burlington GO Station.
The </span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">Lakeshore West train was a little late but then took me to Aldershot GO Station,
where I transferred to an 18 GO Transit bus (double decker; got a top
front seat) and rode to Hamilton GO Centre in Hamilton.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I saw a 25 (Hamilton Railway, which has no trains cu</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">rrently)
bus right away. Having no time to check my notes I got on. I soon
realized I needed a 27 (Hamilton Railway) and was going the wrong way so
got off. On I</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;">nverness I saw a 27
bus going the other way and so waited across the street and a 27 arrived
soon after. I got off at Big B Comics, jogged across a bridge over the
nearby highway, and took another 27 bus to another The Beat Goes On, I
just missed another 27 going back so found a Shoppers Drug Mart and,
feeling dehydrated, got a couple bottles of lemon lime flavoured water. I
just missed a 20 express bus (also Hamilton Railway) but a 27 arrived
soon after and I took it to McNab Transit terminal. I got some Blu-Rays
and a DVD at Cheapies. </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">[NOW: Cheapies has closed.] <br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"> </span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I crossed through Gore Park between lanes of
traffic. It's nicer than the name suggests. Statues and a nice fountain.
At a stamp and coin store I asked about a couple comic collections. I
passed on a $120 Batman collection I used to have, but got a $10
British Marvel Annual from 1968 that would make for an interesting
conversation piece. A woman working there was from Kelowna and was
really nice. At Tabby's Variety there were some cheap DVDs. Some I
passed on because the front covers were photocopies so I opened them to
find obviously bootleg discs. However I did get a bunch of still sealed
DVDs that looked real, all but one part of Mongrel Media's foreign
output.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
was getting close to time o get my bus but wanted to do a little more
wandering. I walked past FirstOntarioPlace, which as Copps Colosseum was
the main setting for the Canadian series Power Play. There was no time
to catch the 18 bus back at Hamilton GO Centre but I caught it at another
stop. A 12 GO Transit bus to Union was there but wanted to take the
train back most of the way (more comfortable) so waited for that.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div>The
was a single decker and all the window seat was full but as the trip
progressed I got more confident about shooting over people's heads. The
bus arrived at Aldershot GO Station a bit late but still made the Lakeshore West
train just in time. The apparent reason for the full bus and later the
full train was an Argonauts game. I got off at Union GO S<span style="line-height: 1.5;">tation
and walked to Yonge-Dundas Square, where a toddler had decided to join a
musician busker until her mother retried her. I visited BMV Books. I
walked to check out the horror section but someone else was checking
that section slowly.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
always go to Pizza Pizza at least once so today got elected. I got a
large bacon pizza. Returning to Union, a woman was surprised I was
taking photos of the tracks, My explaining that I was a tourist led her
to being further surprised that I would leave BC for Toronto even
briefly. Make it back to the hostel and did the bulk of the packing.
Will likely tweak tomorrow.</span></div><p> </p>Andy E.

Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip. </p><p>I got up just before 5:30, then walked up Dufferin, then east
along Dundas (where it becomes the Chinese district closer to the
downtown core) to Yonge-Dundas Square. I grabbed breakfast at the nearby
McDonald's on Yonge. Heading towards Toronto Coach Terminal, I briefly
slipped and spilled a bit of my drink on my arm and camera. fortunately
my drink was club soda. I managed to snag the front seat on the Megabus, this time a single decker. With a brief stopover in St.
Catherine, the bus made its way to Niagara Falls. At one point during
the trip the sun shone so brightly I could only look ahead through my
camera LCD screen. I toyed with the idea of taking the GO train back
because I was schedule to return earlier than I'd liked, but couldn't
find a schedule or even confirmation that it stops by the Via Rail
station. Also don't know how many runs are the train and how many are
still a bus and train combo.</p><div><br /></div><div>I took the Olympic
Torch Legacy rail to what feels like another world, starting with the
extreme tacky Clifton Hill street and area. Just before the street is
Nightmares Fear Factory. On the street itself is Frankenstein's House of
Horrors, Dracula's Haunted Castle, the Haunted Mansion, Movieland Wax
Museum, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>I walked down to the falls proper.
There are three falls. looking left to right from the Canadian side:
American Falls (straight and wide), Bridal Veil Falls right beside it
(straight but narrow; it's right beside the American Falls so it has a
bit of a tooth missing effect in between), and the Horseshoe aka
Canadian Falls, which curves from the American to the Canadian side; the
other two are entirely on the American side, though the best views of
the Falls are across the Niagara River from the Canadian side.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
wandered to the Horseshoe Falls and back and then walked to the Rainbow
Bridge, which is grey. The price of pedestrian entry doubled from 2016
from 50c to $1. I started across it to the American side.I saw a Chinese
couple work their way to the International Boundary point and then turn
back. I wonder if they realized that once you start across the bridge
on either side, you have to at least attempt to enter the country on
the other side. There were quite a few officials at the entry point at
Niagara Falls, New York. I easily cleared Customs and walked along the
Falls area. Lots of rainbows. On Goat Island you can get really close to
the Horseshoe Falls. Sadly near the Falls was a sign with a suicide
prevention number. I walked to Luna Island, where you can get up close
to the Bridal Veil and American Falls. i returned to the mainland
section and wanted to go up the observation deck, but there was an
unusually long line (it's also the Maid of the Mist line). I like
visiting the downtown area of Niagara Falls NY so I walked along Pine,
visiting Rite Aid, Walgreen's, House of Fantasy (comics), and another
Rite Aid, where I bought some Halloween candy. Heading back I got a
strawberry Slurpee from 7-11. Returning to the Observation Deck, the
line was now its normal size so I paid $1.25 to go on the deck that
hangs over the water.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I meant that the sign was sad because it usually means that a suicide did occur. House of Fantasy has closed.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The important thing to
know about the Falls is the Canadian side is better, yes, but the
American side is not to be missed. If you're at the Falls and have the
proper travel docs, make time to visit both sides. Your trip to the
Falls is incomplete without seeing both sides.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
crossed the Rainbow Bridge back to Canada. On the Canadian side there
was a bit of a wait because there was only one official and there was an
issue with the people ahead of me. But things went quickly after they
were processed. I returned to Clifton Hill and
had lunch at the Burger King. it shares a building with the Frankenstein
exhibit, so there's an image on top of the Frankenstein Monster holding
a whopper.</div><div><br /></div><div>After a little more Clifton Hill,
I returned to the Falls and again walked to the Horseshoe Falls and
back, getting photos of the new zipline. When I walked there earlier,
there was rain right by those Falls (often happens there) but this time
it was mostly just hot I think it was at this.point that I noticed
rainbows at the Canadian side as well. I returned to Clifton Hill, this
time taking a side street to photograph the Upside Down House.I also
photographed the area around the SkyWheel (Ferris wheel) and Dinosaur
Adventure Golf. I noticed a new Autopia in that area. I explore a bit
more of Clifton Hill, noticing a new "6D" zombie attraction and walked
down to the Falls once more. I tried finding a water fountain but no
luck, an issue with past visits as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
would have liked to have stayed a little longer, but it was getting
time to catch my bus, and I had done all the major beats anyway, so I
walked up Clifton Hill one last time and crossed through Olympic Torch
Legacy Trail back to the downtown, arriving at Niagara Falls Bus
terminal soon after. I finally got my water. Since this was the 4th and
last trip on Megabus, I folded the travel number to just show that one.
The driver wanted to see the full sheet. He said he couldn't find the
number and asked to see more. I showed him the first sheet. Hie said
that was for Sept 11. I pointed out that that was journey 1 and this is
journey 4. He said if he couldn't find the number he couldn't let me on.
I insisted that I had paid for the trip and he finally relented and let
me on. Don't know why he couldn't find the travel number because there
was no issue the other three times. There was a couple on the front
seat so I sat behind them. As the bus filled, the woman in front of me
reclining her seat. I told her there was someone with big legs behind
her but she wouldn't move her seat back up.</div><div><br /></div><div>The
bus made good time to Mississauga and then hit congestion. The bus
finally made to Toronto Coach Terminal. I was hoping that the trip
back would relax my legs, but due to the reclining woman (who also
didn't have her camera turned to mute), I was even more sore after the
bus ride. I made it back to the same McDonald's as earlier, then did a
reverse of the Dundas/Dufferin walk back to the Parkdale Hostelerie<span style="line-height: 1.5;">.</span></div><p> </p>Andy E.

Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip. <br /></p><div>Still a bit to go in the trip, but this was the last day to be *primarily* toronto focussed. The guy above me and a guy to my side had some sort of snoring duet going
last night. I got up before 6 and got some nice sunrise photos along
Bloor. Had breakfast at the McDonald's across from the Royal Ontario
Museum (ROM, no relation to the Spaceknight). It's an okay McDonald's
but the McDonald's that used to be there had a second story which had a
nice view of the ROM.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I was staying at the Parkdale Hostellerie.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I walked to Bloor-Yonge
Station and got a daypass. In the Bloor section, I took a 1
Yonge-University-Spadina train to Finch Station (all transit today
Toronto Transit),. I walked along Yonge past Steeles, where on the east
side I crossed over from Toronto to Markham. After about a block I
crossed over to the other side Vaughn and visited Galeria.</div><div><br /></div><div>On
Steeles avenue a 60A bus I wanted arrived. Disappointingly, since I
wanted photos of that stretch of Vaughn, most of the seats filled on the
right side so I was on the left taking photos of Toronto instead. I
think the Vaughan side would have been more interesting, more
multilingual. I got off at Pioneer Village Station and took the 1 train
to Vaughn Metropolitan Centre for exterior shops before returning to
Pioneer Village Station again via 1 train. I took a 935 bus south to
Wilson Rd. I thought the address I wanted was 1701 but was actually
1700. Most cities that would mean right across the street but in Toronto
evens and odds don't always correspond So I had to doubleback to a mall
(Shepherd Centre, not to be confused with Shepherd-Yonge Mall a ways
east) a few blocks away. I found the store, Red Nails II on the bottom
level. I took a 35 bus (non-express version of 935) to Jane Station. I
visited another Red Nails II. As I suspected, 2 for 1 Movies wasn't open
for the day so probably won't get there again before they close down.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I didn't get there again/] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I
took a 2 (Bloor-Danforth) train to Royal York Station and at Excalibur
Comics got a couple hardcovers. Back at the station I took another 2
train to St. George and transferred to a 1 train to St. Andrew Station.
David Mason Books proved to be in the basement of an office building.
The worker there didn't seem comfortable with my being there, though his
overweight cat was sweet. He made a remark about my leaving so quickly
as I left (it was all vintage books, nothing for me).</div><div><br /></div><div>I
walked along Canada's Walk of Fame; cheekily Canada's Walk of Fame has
its own square. Some locals seem unaware the walk is there: I had to
wait as others walked over the squares, one guy stopped right on a
square to do something with his phone, and two people were having a
conversion with a square in between them. I visited Ben McNally Books,
partly obscured by construction.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: Ben McNally Books has moved.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I tried to
find a bus stop to my next stop. part lof the issue was I put the wrong
number down (22 instead of 72) but things were confusing even after I
figured that out: there wasw an eastbound stop and a southbound stop,
both by Union Station. I thought the southbound stop was towards the
terminating stop so was waiting at the eastbound stop. I noticed at
least two southbound 72 buses. I waited about half an hour for the
eastbound bus, which stress me out since I found myself thinking of
other ways I could have gotten to my destination. The 72 bus finally
arrived.... and promptly looped around to the southbound side, letting me know I
had wasted half an hour for nothing. A couple of fair enforcement guys
got on the bus, but not to check fairs on that bus.Finally arrived at
Atomic Comics.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hiked a ways, passing a cat
rolling around on a driveway, to what was supposed to be a a 505 steetcar
but was actually a bus; probably construction somewhere. I got off at
Yonge-Dundas Square, and remembering a good lunch I once had with Monica
in Oshawa, went to the nearest Five Guys. The staff were all women;
maybe the five guys are transitioning? Overpriced, and when my order was
up, the woman put fries in later orders (I skipped fries due to lack
of combo deal) and then napkins in all of them before offering them all
at once. Was a bit annoyed having to wait for fries for customers who
ordered after me. Also, as she listed a number of numbers at once, she called my number first, but someone who replied a bit louder got their
order first. Really good burger but I won't go there again.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
had the lunch at Yonge-Dundas Square. I got an Asterix collection from
Edward St.'s BMV Books.I tried to find a DVD/music store inn the PATH
(underground city) but couldn't recall the name so couldn't ask around. I
checked out a nearby record store that sold DVDs. I took a 1 train from
Dundas Station to Union Station, the transferred to a 509 streetcar
(gentrified model) to Queen's Quay Station.</div><div><br /></div><div>I <span style="line-height: 1.5;">did
a very long walk along the waterfront, seeing views of Billy Bishop
Airport on the Toronto Islands that I hadn't seen before. I also saw a
swan. My camera threatened to pack it in but then started working again.
I continued along the waterfront, crossing Humber Bridge over Humber
River and back. A guy asked if some place I couldn't make out try as I
might was very far. I did point out a large map but he didn't seem
interested in looking at that.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
crossed from the south end of High Park to the North end, checking the
small zoo en route (bison, reindeer, emus, etc). I met up with my
friends Jan and Dave at nearby Keele Station and we revisited the park
(we saw a cormorant and a blue heron, as well as a few ducks; can't
recall what type). They were going to treat me to a healthy place, but
no meat options and most of the dishes have beans. so they ordered there
and treated me to the Queensway McDonald's.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">We
were going to go to the waterfront but the sun had gone down so we sat
overlooking the highway instead. Mostly to be a tease, when I took a
photo of them as the end of the meet, that McDonald's was in the
background. while the main reason it wasn't the only reason: McDonald's
provided excellent night lighting for the photo.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
was going to walk back to the hostel, but after a few blocks took a 501
streetcar back. While typing this, I heard a couple guys talking about a
crazy lady outside, likely the one from the night before last</span></div>Andy E.

Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip. <br /></p><div>In the middle of the night I could hear a street woman calling for
help. She eventually quieted down and I went back to sleep. Woke up
later than expected (6:48). Walked to Dufferin Station. Got day pass
and got a 2/Bloor-Danforth train (all transportation today Toronto
Transit) to St. George Station. From there I switched to a
1/Yonge-University-Spadina train to the new Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
Station in Vaughan. Along the way there was an announcement of an
emergency at Queen's Park Station that got cleared. I was going to walk
from there to Canada's Wonderland for some photos but landed a breakfast
meet so instead transferred trains and returned to St. George in
Toronto. Slight delay along the way due to second medical emergency.
Still I had just enough time to get to Over Easy for breakfast with my
friend Aidan. Aidan offered to pay. had he not I would have asked to go
somewhere else. Food was good but grossly overpriced. Pop there, which I
passed on is $3 no refills.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I stayed at the Parkdale Hostellerie.]<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I visited the
Toronto Metropolitan Police Museum, which now has tighter security: they
search bags and do the wand thing. Still, a nice but small museum. In
the prison cell section, use your camera to zoom in on the graffiti on
the wall to get the "prisoner" (mannequin)'s opinion of the food.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
got on the 506 streetcar, one of the few remaining old style streetcars
to Roncevalles Ave. The old streetcars are bulky but have character.
Aidan said this is the last year for them sadly. I visited that street's
She Said Boom! as well as A Good Read, Another Story Bookshop, and, on
Queen St, West End Comics. I took a 501 (gentrified) streetcar to Sonic
Boom Records, then another 501 to Queen and Greenwood. There passengers
were asked to switch to a bus of the same number due to construction,
but there as a KFC across the street from the stop so I had the Tuesday special there. I walked to
Woodbine Beach and swam three times. The second time I noticed, while
already in the water, a buoy saying to keep out. The third swim was a
ways past that area. but then I stopped as I had more shopping and
travelling to do and wanted my clothes to dry/be less sandy. Still, glad
I swam because I'm told it's been rainy in Victoria, so this might have
been my last outdoor swim of 2019. But we'll see. I passed through more
beach area to Nursewood, which has some interesting architecture, kind
of like Ancient Rome. I was going to good to Queen St East's Book City
mainly for photos along the way but changed my mind, in part because I
didn't know where the detour would actually take me when it happened.
Instead I visited Planet X Comics, then after a short hike took the 64
bus to the east end of Danford Ave. I visited that street's Buy &
Sell Kings. I found Blu-rays but not DVDs. Graphic novels but a woman
was reorganizing them so I could access them very easily. I walked to
Main Street Station (a busker there was playing on his clarinet or
recorder the Do-Ra-Mi song (Doe, a deer....) and took a 2 train to
Donlands Station.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I can't recall for sure, but I think that was my last swim of that year.] <br /></div><div> </div><div></div><div>On the west end of Danforth,
which is really an extension of the east end of Bloor, I got some DVDs
at Circus Books & Music. A woman there wanted me to go to a climate
change event, but it was for September 27. I'll be home well before then. I
also visited Game Centre, Re: Reading, Mike's Music. I walked to Castle
Frank station and took a 2 train to Bloor-Yonge Station. there I took a 1
train (right before the doors of the train closed) north to Lawrence
Station. I walked a ways north to the new location of Hairy Tarantula
(comics). I returned to Lawrence and took a 1 train south one stop (but
a fair distance away) to Eglinton Station. At Yonge's BMV Books I
bought some comic trades, including at least one I saw prior to heading
to Montreal. I love not having to worry quite as much about baggage now.
I took another 1 train to Dundas Station. I grabbed dinner at Burger
King. I relaxed a little at Yonge-Dundas Square I'm pretty sure I
recognized the busker there from his music, which is quite good.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
took a final 501 gentrified streetcar back to the hostel.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: Estate matters omitted from final paragraph.] <br /></div>Andy E.

was noisy again last night, but I think it was people unpacking. Power
snorer was gone. Got up around 5 and walked to McDonald's. My luggage
was so full I couldn't even extend the handle. Had I bought even one
more DVD it would have gone in my raincoat. Left behind the GO Transit
schedules, figuring I can get new ones. I made it to my favourite
McDonald's on rue Ste-Catherine, having found the coupons, Kiosk worked.
Glad I left Auberge Bishop earlier than planned as briefly got turned
around.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: Auberge Bishop has closed.]<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>At the Megabus terminal I was a bit
worried because some luggage got weighed, but then seemed only concerned
with the hard shell cases. Made it on board no problem even though
even a butterfly would have trouble fitting into either backpack or
suitcase.</div><div><br /></div><div>I again got a top front case due to
reservations. This time there was a Kirkland pickup so Megabus took a
more northerly route to Vaudrieul-Dorion, bypassing <span>Île-Perrot</span>. But
we were back on Autoroute 20 well before it became Hwy 411 on the Quebec/Ontario border.</div><div><br /></div><div>As common lately unfortunately we
weren't allowed to leave the bus at the only other stopover, Kingston.
Did a bit of real daydreaming towards the end of the 6 hour ride, but
not as bad as sometimes and I think I managed to keep with the photos.
Getting off at Toronto Coach Terminal, I visited the Edward St BMV Books
before grabbing lunch att the nearest McDonald's on Yonge, not far from
where Backpackers on Dundas used to be. Kiosk worked and a woman working
there helped me get my order to my table so I was obviously loaded
down.</div><div><br /></div><div>I walked past Yonge-Dundas Square and
made it to a streetcar stop at Queen and Yonge. A guy who seemed
friendly asked me some questions; gave truthful but minimal answers
just in case: "Where are you headed today" "The hostel."</div><div><br /></div><div>I
got on the 501 streetcar (Toronto Transit) and payed my fair from the
fair machine on board. The newer, more gentrified streetcars have a
machine towards the middle. I got off near Parkdale Hostellerie. When I
got the same room with lots of options, the woman was surprised I
wanted the same bunk as before. Lower level, can exist either side, has a
counter for my glasses and power outlets right above it, and easy <span style="line-height: 1.5;">access
to the door and the locker with minimal disturbance of other guests. Of
course I was going to take that one again even without my OCD. I took
my inner suitcase out of my outer suitcase at last.</span></div><div><br /></div><div> I
walked up to Bloor; it was drizzling most of the rest of the day, but
found it a bit refreshing and didn't bother with rain coat; due to
humidity wasn't even really getting wet. Eyesore Cinema wasn't open
today. I visited Zoinks and Doug Miller Books. At Dollarama I bought a
couple padlocks to replace the one I lost the key to. I visited Seekers
Books. Got some comic trades at Bloor's BMV Books, including ones I
wanted to get earlier but for space reasons needed to wait until I was
back from Quebec. Visited Thunder Struck (comics; same location as the
former Labyrinth, also comics). I visited Bay Video. Game Centre near
Yonge apparently merged with the one on Danforth.</div><div><br /></div><div>I visited ABC Books. I noticed as I had previously suspected that a store that I never entered but which had<span style="line-height: 1.5;"> been
a running gag during every visit had closed down. Yes, no more Not Just
Condoms. So, for one final time... But wait, there's more!</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I
revisited BMV Books on Edward St now that I was less weighed down.
There was some sore of climate thing happening at Yonge-Dundas Square.
Ate dinner at Burger King. They screwed up up order and I was too tired
and hungry to take it back. Still, cheaper than McDonald's.</div><div><br /></div>I
walked to The Beguiling on College St, again getting some trades I
couldn't get earlier, including some I had had my eye on last time. I
also visited She Said Boom! on College St. I gradually made my way back
to the hostel, including a stretch through Dundas St. After that long
bus ride, that hike felt really good. Oh, and even got same locker as
before so I put on the lock. I don't think anyone will steal; it's
mainly so people know it's in use. Andy E.

were only $1.50 each. Got woken up twice by the power snorer. The second
time was close to 5 so I decided to go for a walk I'd been meaning to
get in my usual early morning walk in anyway but the later sunrise has
meant I've been getting up later than I normally do in Montreal visits.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: Auberge Bishop as clsed.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Concert
area was being taken down. I had gotten a bargain price 512 GB memory
card and yesterday it seemed to work okay (I've been using my camera to
check the time). This time I noticed some picture errors. Think I caught
it before too many photos were ruined but it was now time to retire
that card. I walked along boul. <span>De Maisonneuve </span> to the Mañana (hand with
globe) sculpture; always make me think of the Muppets song
("Man-an-na-na... do dooo... do-do-do"). I walked along rue
Ste-Catherine. Where nit meets Pl Jeanne-Mance, there was a novelty
machine about facial recognition; some of the uses of similar machines
seem sinister so never tried the "fun" stuff today there.<span style="line-height: 1.5;"> I made my way back to the hostel for breakfast.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I
walked to Station de Métro Lucien-L'Allier but while there changed my
original plans. I decided to take the Orange Line train (all
transportation today STM) to Station de Metro Cartier in Laval, which is
on <span>Île Jésus</span>. I did what I wanted to do yesterday and crossed Pont
Viau over la <span>Rivière des Prairies</span> back to Montreal, <span>Île </span> de Montreal. I
walked to Station de Métro Honoré-Beaugrand and took another Orange Line
train to Station de Métro Mont-Royal. I walked a little ways. Due to a
bike Grand Prix there was routine info for today and one sign suggested
the 11 bus was unaffected. It was so I only rode it a short ways. On
the plus side my seat's window had that mesh used for exterior ads which
makes photography difficult anyway.</div><div><br /></div><div>It wasn't
easy but I found a place where I could walk up Mount Royal. Along the
way some people were really promoting one racer named James Piccolli. No
idea if just friends or if he's big in the racing world.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: Apparently the latter.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I
made it to the main area for views of the city and got some nice
photos. I walked back down and revisited Jean Coutu (they were out of
lime mineral but they had the same brand of lemon mineral water, also
good), Libraire L'Échange, Bouchenarie du Plateau, Fox-Troc. I walked to
Renaud-Bray on rue St-Denis, visited Librarie Millennium (comics) then
back on St-Denis visited Planète-DB (comics; new location), <span class="aCOpRe"><span>Débédé</span></span>
(books; not yet open for the day), Librairie Michel Fortin.</div><div><br /></div><div>I crossed through Square St-Louis and visited the pedestrian only street rue Prince-Arthur.<span style="line-height: 1.5;">I
walked to the hostel I stayed in the first year (Hotel de Paris; not
bad, just a hike from the Megabus), the Gare de l'autocars, then Place
</span><span style="line-height: 1.5;"><span>Émilie-Gamelin </span>(now has a garden), then Archamabult. I walked along rue
Ste-Catherine and ate at a McDonald's with outdoor seating. Lots of
sparrows. Inside the Complexes Desjardins it was in, where there was a
private function about to start by the fountain, I visited Renaud
Bray. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>I took a Green line train from
Station de Métro Place-des-Arts to Station de Metro Berri-UQAM, then a
Yellow line train from there to Station de Métro Jean-Drapeau. There I
walked from <span>Î</span>le Notre-Dame to <span>Î</span>le Ste-Hélène and back. Couldn't find a
particular sculpture I like but it might have been moved/removed/covered
by the construction. One exhibit was supposed to open on the 13th but
was still under construction. </div><div><br /></div><div>By now it had
gotten cloudy so instead of relaxing in the sun I put a couple of
cancelled plans for today back on the schedule. It was that or get
chilly. Returning to the station, I took a Yellow line train back to
Berri-UQAM and from there an Orange line train to Station de Métro
Rosemont. Near there I visited Studio 9 BD (comics) and then walked
(including under one or two tunnels to rue Masson. I visited a couple
French bookstores (Librairie Rachael, Librairie Papette Limasse) and
then checked to see whether Vidéotron's website was right about there
store there still being open or if Google was right about it being
closed. Google was right; you could barely even tell a video store was once there.</div><div><br /></div><div>I
took a 47 bus to Station de Métro Laurier where I took an Orange line
train to Station de Métro Square-Victoria-OACI. Square Victoria is a
2-section park between lanes of traffic. From there I walked to the very
nearby Vieux-Montreal (Old Montreal). I visited the waterfront. I was
curious about the Ferris wheel, but couldn't find price info so I just
assumed it was too expensive.</div><div><br /></div><div>I visited March
Bonsecouers,. Despite being in the old town w2th an old town exterior,
the inside is very modern and expensive looking., I bet stuff there
costs your second born, not just your first. I also visited the hub,
Place Jacques Cartier one last time.</div><div><br /></div><div>I took an
Orange line train from Station de Métro Champ-de-Mars back to Berri-UQAM
and wander Ste-Catherine one last time, with a quick rest at Pl
Jeanne-Mance. Grabbed dinner at the DQ on rue Guy Concordia. Back at the
hostel, I did a very elaborate packing job to get around Megabus'
luggage limits. Not sure if I kept within weight limits. Hoping for the
best tomorrow. never had an issue before but refusing luggage over
limits is part of their policy. We'll see.</div><p> [NOW: There were no luggage iossues.]<br /></p>Andy E.

<div class="post-header">
</div>
<p>This is the eighth in a series of posts covering my trip to Eastern
Canada in September 2019, adapting emails originally sent to friends. I
use NOW to refer to any updates since I did the trip.</p><div>Some trip days get out of hand and all you can do is ride the wave. Heard
some of the concert a block over plus people whooping it up afterward.
Someone in my room was doing some power snoring. It was raining in the
morning. Walked to where the Illuminated Crowd sculpture is suppose to
be but as I suspected it was either gone or covered by construction.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I left from the now-closed Auberge Bishop.] <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I
returned to the hostel for breakfast. The TV had Friends and the radio
had music that clashed with the TV. One address on my itinerary didn't
look right and since the connection at the hostel is slow, lost a bit of
time correcting that. Walked to Station de Métro Lucien-d'Allier and
took an Orange Line train to Station de Métro Place-d'Armes (all transportation
today STM) and walked to the Old Montreal for some photos with few
people around. Returning to the station, I took another Orange train to
Station de Métro C<span class="aCOpRe"><span>ô</span></span>te-Vertu. Due to construction I got confused trying
to find the right bus stop but finally did. I took an 84 bus north to
near the Ottawa River. I crossed the same bridge to Laval that I did in
my first visit in 2013. I still recalled from that visit that the street
curves left and if you continue forward you wind up non another street.
I did a very long hike along boul. Cure-Labelle, longer than I should
have attempted really. One bridge I had to enter a dormant construction
zone to pass over. I did briefly step on a nail. I finally found the
Superclub Vidéotron. Mostly anglophone DVDs you can get elsewhere so I
passed. I doubled-back through that bridge and turned on to St-Martin
where I had lunch at a McDonald's. Kiosk worked. I actually misplaced
the coupons but now had the number memorized. Not far was Cosmos BD
(comics). I hiked to the more or less nearby Terminus Montmercy where I
took another Orange Line train to Station de Métro Cartier. Bought some
DVDs from a nearby Superclub Vidéotron, the only one in fact that's a
repeat from past years. The closing of most of them plus the off season
weather is why I've been doing the longer walks rather than the more fun
sticking closer to Montreal; last chance to see. I would have liked to
have crossed the Ottawa River on foot but was way behind schedule so
returned to Cartier. Accidentally went the wrong way one stop to Station
de Métro de-la-Concorde, but then I corrected and got off at Station de
Métro Jean-Talon.</div><div><br /></div><div>There I transferred to a Blue
line and got off at Station de Métro Snowdon. I'm pretty sure I was
there before for unrelated reasons to this time. Recognized the
McDonald's. Visited Komico, then returned to Snowdon and took it to
Station de Métro St-Michel. i was going to take the 141 bus but with
the day I was having was worried I'd take it the wrong way. In fact I
did get turned around a few times before finding the Jean Talon branch
of 1000000 Comix.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was going to take the 129
bus south but hit construction yet again and wasn't sure which stops
were still active. So even though I bumped it from the itinerary
yesterday I ended up seeing the Biodome at Olympic Park after all. With
all the construction I admit to have entertained the thought of taking
off to Trudeau Airport and flying home, but I shall at persevere.</div><div><br /></div><div>At
Station de Métro Pie-X I took the Green line train to Station de Métro
de-Serres. I walked along Wellington (which ha\d a street fair for two
small blocks to Superclub Vidéotron, but it closed for the day at 5
and it was just after 5. I could return tomorrow but I doubt it. In
fact, having done this power walks outside of STM range, tomorrow I want
to focus on places I've visited previously, so I've bumped a couple of
things and just having a low key day tomorrow.</div><div> </div><div>[NOW: I never made it back and that Superclub has now closed.]<br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div>Returning
to the station I took a Green line train to Station de Métro
Lionel-Groulx, where I took an Orange line train back to Place-D'Armes.
I ate dinner at the Old Montreal McDonald;'s and then wandered the
waterfront a bit. I visited Place Jacques-Cartier once more and then
walked to Station de Métro Champ-De-Mars. I took an Orange line train to
the central hub, Station de Métro Berri-UQAM and after a briefly
passage though the underground city (R<span class="aCOpRe"><span>É</span></span>SO) (Le Parchemin is closing)
started walking along rue Ste-Catherine. I visited Boutique Volume. They
have a book I wanted but not at I price I wanted to pay,especially
given my concerns about Megabus luggage restrictions. I relaxed at
Jeanne-Mance. Water jets were on with different night colours. If it
was earlier/less cloudy I 'd have gone in and cooled off. I passed
through the rue Crescent concert again. less people than yesterday.
Despite being free outside, I think it was a better spectacle than the
Weird Al concert I went to recently. Tomorrow is wind down/greatest hits
day! <p> </p><p> </p>Andy E. Nystromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08018048481025102466noreply@blogger.com0
