about us brian (country mouse) is from new hampshire. karel (city girl) is from the new york metro area. in summer 2008 they are driving across the US and moving to portland, oregon. here are their adventures, photos, and observations.
Here we are on Day Three. We stayed at my friend Molly's place last night - she's moving next week, though, so has already cancelled her cable and internet, which meant that we were disconnected for the night! It was great to see Molly - we haven't seen each other since CTY summer of 2004. She and her boyfriend Dan were great hosts and we had some real Chicago pizza... yum. Then a little Princess Bride action and we were out for the count.
Yesterday's drive was far less eventful than Day One. Here is a representation of what we looked at all day:
Snore.
But we have our Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows audiobook to keep us entertained. The Battle at Hogwarts is on and Brian is on the edge of his seat to find out what happens next!!!!
We've just had breakfast at Panera Bread - specifically chosen for its free wireless as I had some business that needed to get done this morning, like blogging. Now Brian is telling me we have to leave, as we still need to find a bookstore so I can buy a Chinese-English dictionary for an interview I have in Portland next Tuesday morning. Ahh!
See you in South Dakota!

I followed some of the links to Portland on your blog and found out that the Oregon Brewers Fetival ends July 27th. Put the pedal to the metal Brian.
雅婷，
很高興妳及時買到了字典，要不是公司的郵局剛好沒開，我就會把字典寄出去了！
看了相片和短文，知道你們一切安好，我就放心多了。但是千萬不要為了趕去參加那個什麼Oregon Brewers Festival 而開快車，知道嗎？
我用中文跟你們寫信，希望妳可以看懂！也許妳也可以用中文給我回信喔！ :)

P.S.The above comments is written in Chinese, hope it will show up in the screen.

Chinese-English dictionary!? This sounds intriguing ... are you becoming an interpreter? ;)
