Two days in one

Thursday was another day at Fuller Coffee shop for breakfast - I had french toast. I caught the light train to Washington Park, where I visited the Discovery Museum - all about the forestery. It was not too bad, then I visited the Oregon Zoo, unfortunately there was only few animals on exhibit.

I had lunch at Mcdonald's late at the time, unfortunately didnt like the taste, so I decided not to eat mcdonalds here in America - Australia's mcdonald's is better. Sorry guys!

I asked the lobby staff to haul me a cab, which they did - I was heading for Vancouver, which My friend Kaelei invited me to go and watch the ASL comedy show, I was dropped at the wrong school, which I had to wait 30 minutes for another cab, ARRGGH (I find cab service annoying!) but managed to arrive at Heritage High School - where the ASL show was hosted, and when I arrived I met up with Kaelei and went inside and to my surprise it was Keith Wann - the famous CODA comedian in the american deaf community and his funny stories are hilarous - it was good to watch the show. Even afterwards, I met Kaelei's friends and other friend of mine - Christina, eventually friends there I met were awesome and very friendly and i appericate their time to come at this time to meet and have some good time - which we all did, and we all wished that I stayed in Portland a little longer, on the other good side, I plan to come back and visit them again real soon - they are great friends. :)

I managed to stay up at my hotel until 3.30 am, while cleaning up and packing up, i was informed by another friend about my flight to PHX which unfortunately was cancelled - I called them via Video Relay Serivce on my videophone ----- was a little pissed with the unfortunate news. Sue Murray was generous enough to drive me to the airport, I was rather tired, and we arrived and asked to see whats up with my flights, fortunately, they put me on the next direct flight - free of charge, which was good 5 hour flight - I slept through mostly of the flight, and I arrived in washington D.C at 3:#0pm from 7.40am flight from Portland - (thanks sue for the help!)

My mother's friend the twins, collected me at the IAD (Washington Dulles International) and settled in at the Meyers residence. One of them said that tanya's friend with her daugther who knows ASL well came tonight - and we chatted it was nice to meet a ASL student

To be honest I was a little sad that I left Portland, I just wished I stayed there just a wee little longer but next time is definite. Photos will be up on blog tomorrow.

I am very tired after being up for more than 16 hours.

Need all the enegry after a good sleep

Good night.

Blog will be updated following tomorrow.
