Home & Hurricane Ike

I left Lake Crescent on Tuesday September 12. I have not had a minute to acclimate back into society because of Hurricane Ike. I have seen and felt so much beauty in the Pacific Northwest, but now I realize I am home for a reason and my real life - here in Houston - is where I am needed. Enjoy the new pics and pray for us in Houston.

Victoria, British Columbia

Canada is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to Vicoria with my friend Barbara. It is the cleanest city I have ever been to in my life!!!! It is very British and we had high tea at the Empress Hotel. We also went to a castle, a McDonald's with chandeliers and the art museum was featuring an Andy Warhol exhibit. I almost purchased a fur purse - but then again does a person really need a fur purse in Houston, TX? Leaving the United States of America wasn't much of a problem, even when I indicated I only had my DL and social security card - No problem, I was told. Until I tried to reboard the ferry going back into the US. Mr. Serious (Officer Sadenko for the very first Cheech and Chong movie) didn't find me amusing at all! He did not care who, or where or why or even how I was able to so easily get into Canada, he did NOT want to let me back into the US!!!! At one point I asked him, "If I was to be permanently detained in Canada and since they had a public health care system, could I get my teeth fixed for free?". Didn't find that funny either!!!!!!!!!! Long story short, he ran my drivers license through some sort of national computer system (really was concerned about that bad check I wrote to JC Penney in 1992!!!!!!) asked me my mothers maiden name, thank God I gave the correct answer and then let me re-enter the country!!! Wake up people - BIG BROTHER REALLY IS WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marymere Falls

Marymere Falls is located 1 mile from the lodge, the trail actually starts here. This was my first trail hike, I went alone and it took about an hour and a half. I was so overwhelmed by the falls located "in the middle of nowhere". It was definately surreal. I met a couple from China on the trail - they did not speak English, but they did manage to ask me if I would like them to take my picture!!!!!! Those crazy chinese!!! LOL The trees started reminding me of the trees in The Wizard of Oz movie, you know the whole Dorothy picking off an apple and the tree being pissed off thing. This transpired on my way back and I just wanted outta there!!!!
