From Portland to Portland
posted by Jesse on Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 8:00 am
On the road again! We packed our van (and I mean PACKED) on Monday and started out our great American road trip (a.k.a “moving”). It was quite a miracle that all of our things fit in our van. We have no idea how it happened, but somehow it fits and the back bumper isn’t hitting the ground! As we drove across the St. Laurence River leaving Québec City, we rolled down the windows and all shouted “Goodbye Québec!” We had really made Québec our home for the time we were there, and were so sad to be leaving that we actually cried briefly as we drove down the road. Well, Tiffany cried and I thought about crying. And all Joshua was thinking about was opening the gift that Pierre (my conversation partner) had given us and told us not to open until we were on the road. It was Belgian dark chocolates!
Our first stop was in Harpswell which is very close to Portland, Maine to visit Tiffany’s Great Aunt and Uncle for a few days. We had a really, really great time with them and their massively over sized dog named Bear.
Next was a quick stop in Cortland, NY to visit some old college friends, Steve & Cassie House. We were really sad that our stay was only for one night, but it was great to see them again. This morning we left there and stopped by Niagara Falls on our way to Toledo, Ohio which is where we are right now, ironically staying in a Hotel on Oregon Street! So, that’s our quick update on our coast to coast trip from Portland to Portland. We’ll try to write at least one more post before arriving back home in Oregon. Thanks so much for praying for our safety!
