Day 5- Saturday
We started our day with a quick crappy brekkie at the hostel, and made our way to Stanley Park. It was full of beautiful trees, runners, city ocean views, and even some bald eagles. Unfortunatly, we were crunched for time so we said our good-byes to Stanley Park and made our way on the sky train back to Surrey. After one last Tims stop we made off to the border- ready for the 2nd half our trip. The border, sadly, was as busy as can be- and after a lengthy 2 hour wait in our stalling buick we finallllly made our way into the U.S.A. Hellllo Washington State!
The initial drive was easy-going, but it wasn't long before we hit the crazyness that is the interstate through Seattle. I (Sandie) happened to be driving and nearly had a heart attack whil

Amanda was enjoying what she calls an amazing city skyline. All the while this is going on, Seattle radio stations were playing around with remixes, most notable being a Coldplay cha-cha. We pulled over just outside of Seattle for a driver switch over, and met some nice guys at a gas station on their way to a hemp festival. haha!

The city looked beautiful and we were both keen to stop but again we were in a time crunch. Putting as many miles as possible behind us we made our way into the state capital, Salem. A few miles off the highway we saw a bright light- the Budget Inn. $48 dollars, and bag full of Chinese take-out later, we hunkered down for the night to the comforts of a warm shower, cable tv and a cozy bed.
Is this the infamous Chinese food you guys rocked up to jason's place with?
