Starting at the beginning

Just to let you know that I have started scanning Volume 1 - so hopefully in a few days I will be able to post it as a complete book to flick through - but in the meantime here are so bits and pieces

Flight from Syd to San Fran and then to Seattle
My first stop was a tearoom... but more of that separately.

After a leisurely breakfast at the tearoom my freinds took me for a 'bit of a drive' out west of washington state- to the Grand Coulee.


The largest waterfall in the world - without water. We arrived 5.30pm. Didn't really have time for anything more than a few photos. Back home at 11.30pm.


On Monday we had a bit of an easier day - went to Mt St Helens... one of the most dramatic setting for a sketch - did a 4-5 mile walk this day (as well as the 300 miles driving)

BTW these huge side trips where the doing of my Seattle friends (who I knew from when they lived in Australia) Their idea of a big day is FAR bigger than even my idea of a big day!
