Upon learning that we were still 5 hours from our planned destination of Crater Lake, Oregon, we decided that Portland - home of Nike and Intel - might not be such a bad place to stay for the night. We met up my relative Janie who is staying in Portland for a training seminar. She had reserved a room for us and got us a room for the night in the hotel in which she was staying!
After eating dinner with Janie at an Italian restaurant we caught a showing of M. Night Shymalan's 'The Happening'. Viewing that movie was a mistake. Unanimous winner for 'Biggest Waste of Time on our Road Trip'. Mr. Shymalan apparently went to the Weezer School of Film-making. (That of course being a reference to the fact that his first few works were good with each subsequent film being so bad that they actually detract from the quality of his initial films.)
Regardless, it felt good to get back to civilization for a bit and enjoy the indulgences that come with it (Yeah, I'm talking about you, $4 bag of Sour Patch Kids!).
Tomorrow looks to be another long day of travel with Crater Lake being our main destination.
Thank you again Janie!
