Well, I made it to Chris and Ada's place. I didn't go down the coast like I had planned. Instead I went through Klammath Falls and stopped at this park.

Now time to look at apartments.

Well, I made it back to Seattle after a successful apartment hunting trip. In one day I was able to find an apartment that I was reasonably happy with. It is located about ten minutes from work. Here is the description.

1 bedroom/1 bath unit on second floor of 4-unit building, located on North Claremont Street, 2 blocks south of Peninsula Avenue. Renovated last year. Large, bright and sunny apartment. Carport. No pets. Neighborhood has mix of single-family houses and apartment buildings. Located 2 blocks from small shopping center with Safeway, Starbucks and Longs Drugs. Easy access to Hwy 101.

It is pretty good and comes with a month to month lease so I can still look for my dream cottage in the hills.

I had a great time hanging with the Chris and Ada and the Westmoreland family. After having fresh basil, goat cheese, and olive spread on sourdough rye for breakfast or dutch pancake with nectarines my bowl of cereal seems a bit boring.

I also made it out to the best skatepark in the area. Folsom skatepark has two 9 foot bowl and a nice roll-in with a gap that I will air some day.
