Yesterday Ian detailed the ins and outs of our whirlwind day in San Francisco. Today, some pictures to go along – our favorites from an all too short tour of a colorfully energetic city.
San Fran Slideshow
November 27th, 2012 | Posted by in Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)The Best of San Francisco
November 26th, 2012 | Posted by in The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)
After a lengthy retreat with nothing to do and nowhere to be on the Oregon Coast, our time in the San Francisco Bay Area was far too short, the list of sights far too long to possibly scratch the surface of. We have commented multiple times since our departure that we may have covered a … Read more
Driving the Pacific Coast
November 25th, 2012 | Posted by in The Places We've Been | United States - (1 Comments)
Two weeks ago we drove down the Pacific Coast from Florence, Oregon to Eureka, California along US Highway 101 with a stop in the Redwoods on our way to San Francisco. Though Google maps recommends I-5 as the fastest route, we opted for the scenic option and headed south with large conifers towering above us … Read more

The Oregon Coast
November 14th, 2012 | Posted by in Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been | United States - (4 Comments)
Of all of the places in our sights when we began the painfully short North American portion of our adventure, we ignorantly viewed the Oregon Coast as one of the more expendable stops. It sounded great and all, but we didn’t really have a specific place in mind and time was a hot commodity. Interestingly, … Read more
A Weekend with the Mattiones
November 12th, 2012 | Posted by in Celebrations | Food | The Places We've Been | United States - (2 Comments)
First of all, that last name is just crazy fun to say. Let’s try it together. Mat-ee-oh-nees. Feels nice on the tongue, doesn’t it? Ian and I had already spent time enjoying Seattle together in 2008 and therefore elected not to commit an extended amount of days there this time through. We were, however, ecstatic … Read more
Border Crossing: USA / Canada
November 11th, 2012 | Posted by in Border Crossings | Canada | Dogs | Speedbumps | United States - (2 Comments)
We cross borders by land in a CR-V with US passports and our two dogs. We do not carry drugs or weapons or disallowed fruit (usually). These articles are not a definitive guide to crossing borders nor should they be used as a sole source of information. They are our experiences. When, Where, and Which … Read more
Drive the Americas

I wish I remembered when we first started reading Drive the Americas. It was my first, tangible-ish (as the internet now apparently constitutes tangibility to me) evidence that what we had decided to do was not completely out of left field or impossible – though at the time, I also wasn’t even aware that anyone … Read more
Vancouver Wrap Up and Best of Photos
November 5th, 2012 | Posted by in Canada | Slideshow Pictures | The Places We've Been - (0 Comments)
Vancouver is a world class city, and is perennially ranked among the world’s “most liveable” cities by various publications and organizations (though it should be noted that it is also rated as a very expensive city). Once one has seen the city’s distinctive glass skyline, it is hard to forget. It is large enough to … Read more
The Strange Disparity Between Legal and Illegal Drugs in British Columbia
November 1st, 2012 | Posted by in Canada | The Places We've Been - (0 Comments)
It took us five empty-handed trips into neighborhood convenience stores to get the feeling that something was amiss. How hard can it be to find a six pack in a world class city like Vancouver? Harder than you might think. By our fifth failure we asked and were pointed to the liquor store a few … Read more
