North America New York (day 4) Ours plans today consist of seeing as much of Manhattan as possible on foot. So we need to start with a decent breakfast. We're craving something normal and kinda healthy. We aim for where we want to start our trek, somewhere in the West, maybe Chelsea or SoHo

North America New York (day 2) We rise a little later today, feeling about $3.50, we must still be on West Coast time. We head straight for the nearest Chipotle in Brooklyn. We wander down Atlantic Avenue, which is one of the main ones with plenty to see. The weather is great for walking, not
North America New York (day 1) We wake up regretting our late night eats and vow not to do it again. We drop off our laundry and then wander around Brooklyn until we find a trendy looking Cafe. Trendy looking usually means good coffee. The coffee doesn't disappoint and neither does the turkey and

North America Vancouver (day 3) We awake and head for a local Bagel place around the corner. The reviews say the food is good, but the service not so. If you like a little bagel with your cream cheese then this place is for you. We jump on the subway/train for the first time
North America Vancouver (day 2) Courtney wakes up with a cold :( Jeff heads to the nearest drug store and comes back with a fist-full of remedies, including some with actual pseudo. Hooray!

North America Seattle (day 3) As mentioned, the cool parts of Seattle are in the districts outside of the city centre. So we head for one called Queen Anne (or Green Eggs, as we've affectionately dubbed it). Unlike Portland where each district had its own vibe, this one feels about the same as
North America Seattle (day 2) After almost a week of American type breakfasts, we're feeling relatively slug like and head to a Cafe in Capitol Hill, which looks like it serves normal sized and healthy breakfast options.

North America Portland, Oregon This city has captured our imagination. It's a decently sized city, but not too big. It's very walk-able, and bike friendly. Cars are constantly giving way to us, even when we aren't at a crossing. It's progressive - known as the Silicon-Forest
North America San Jose to Portland We've got a flight to Portland to catch so we're up early. Which we're pretty stoked about considering we were out a little too late drinking one too many craft brews last night. Ah well, we can sleep on the plane. The drive to
