Leg 1 - Seattle to Eugene




So this is it, there's no turning back now. We have left Seattle behind us for some time to come. We are homeless and jobless with no bills to pay, all we have is 4 suitcases and a rental car and each other!!! Feels liberating!
I picked Raga up from work after his co-workers had thrown him yet another farewell party with some cake cutting. Again it was very apparent to me that they will really feel his absence. They all had such neat things to say about him and wished us well in our new adventure. R will miss them too!
We left Seattle at about 6pm, and got into Portland about 8.30pm or so. I knew all along what a great city Portland was, but i had no idea really how beautiful it is. The Columbia river snakes thru the city and when we drove by late in the evening, it looked spectacular with the downtown lights in the background! These guys have also got their public transportation system all figured out with a superb metro and a streetcar that runs throughout the city. We had a quick bite for dinner and got into Eugene at 11pm.Tomorrow we plan to head to Crater Lake on our way down to San Jose.
