The Journey Out West

I finally made it back to San Jose, California. It was a 6 day journey.

Tuesday May 5th, I set out from Ann Arbor, Mi with KT's Baja team to their competition in Portland, Oregon. We drove through a lot of states like Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and finally Oregon. Mostly, they were a blur since we primarily only stopped for gas and/or food except for the last night where we stayed in the most simplistic motel ever. There wasn't even shampoo and definately no hair dryer. I remember wind farms in Wyoming and happy looking cows in most of the states. There was also the occasional tumbleweed rolling across the highway (like in movies!).

Portland is beautifully green with fun hipsters (and regular people too) riding bikes everywhere. Even kids!

I flew to San Jose on Monday but I guess I didn't look too closely at the flight I had booked since I thought it would be a direct flight but we stopped in Reno. That was a surprise for me.
