To the mountain
Leave a reply
Escaped the noise and upset animals over the 4th of July and went to the Timberline. I love Mt Hood, as I’ve mentioned a few times on here.
Brian reading at the Timberline – this is the back of the lodge
We swam, hung out in the hottub, played shuffleboard, ate great pizza at Blue Ox (the little hidden restaurant at the Timberline), and read nearly all day long.
I hiked up the Pacific Crest Trail for a bit.
I never got a great picture of it, but the monarch butterfly migration was in full force – thousands and thousands of them fluttering past me as I read on the patio. So many on the drive down the mountain! One of the servers exclaimed “Oh! Butterflies!” each time she came outside, she was as delighted as we were.
Shuffleboard table where Brian and I tied. Great game!
Linoleum art and old speaker at one end of the shuffleboard.
I had this folder in various colors as a kid and had no idea that the drawing of the woman on the chairlift was from the Timberline!
Mt Jefferson from our room.
Hood River
On the way home, we stopped in Hood River to eat dinner at Pfriem brewing. We took a short walk along the Columbia River after that and sat in the shade to watch the kite surfers and paddle boarders.
Relaxed and happy start to July.
Shoreditch
Bitter beer for happy people
Out for cocktails in Shoreditch; this one was named after my Greek professor’s college boyfriend : )
Callooh Callay
Also nice on the way “home”.
I am a kinda lucky person. Recognized.
British taps
Oh for pete’s sake. Ordered two pints, made the mistake of identifying the IPA for me, annnnnnd got a half-pint as I am a girl. Beer sexism, I tell ya! Or maybe I look too tiny for a full pint? Ha! I mean Oi!
10 Barrel and Summer
Ten Barrel’s new second story patio is pretty lovely!
Another picture
I LOVE this picture of my sister and I. This was our first night in Munich. I haven’t sorted through pictures yet, but will do add a more comprehensive post once I do.
Next German class starts this week!
Düsseldorf
Started out at Amsterdam Centraal.
Then, lunch at a brewery (Alt bier!):
Followed by a long walk in old town:
On to the Fashion district (after cake):
Back to the hotel for lovely dry German wine.
The next day was a long train ride to Munich.
Freelance
Working; having a beer; listening to the details of an apparently long overdue break-up; also listening to Dead Milkmen on the jukebox. All-in-all, entertaining and productive.
Edit:
I walked up to Mash Tun brewpub on Alberta St. After posting this, some grizzled older men set up songs on the jukebox. I thought, uh oh, here comes an hour of Neil Young. But apparently they had a hankerin’ for some Norah Jones, so what do I know.
Fall memories
Small German beer fests with people you love are the best things ever (photo from September, my sister just sent it to me). Each of these are eine Mass Bier, which is 1.06 liters. Weihenstephaner is the oldest brewery in the world
Tin Bucket
Uh oh, errand running and growler-filling just devolved into a tasting…..might be a loooong day.
