Pics from Days 3 & 4

Left to right:
My cousin Peter, his kids John, Eleanor, and Alex, and yours truly.

Ellie and John rasslin'. John is on the losing end of tickle torture.

Leaving the sun-drenched paradise that is Tacoma, WA.

Just arrived in Portland, Oregon. While waiting for Susan, my friend and host to get home from work, I enjoyed watching the world go by her front porch.

Susan's brother, Peter. I didn't realize until I left Portland that I didn't get *any* pictures of Susan. Dammit.

but I did get a bunch of pictures of Pippen, Susan's sweet little Jack Russell.

Peter's cat. I forget his name (Putty?) - but this dude is *huge*. Beer bottle for scale. He's just massive. Unreal. Makes my cat Duff look downright tiny.

I forgot that you aren't allowed to pump your own gas in Oregon. This guy ran over and scolded me after I got out of my car and started running the pump myself.
