before, during and after

While Mychal's cooking dinner, I'll share pictures from the first leg of our trip: Vancouver, B.C. to Astoria, OR, biking by day, camping by night.




Day One: Axel fixing the bikes at our motel; his attire not too different from what the johns wore as they escorted their, ahem, lady-friends to the door.





Day in the middle: Here we are on one of the five ferry crossings.






Helping me set up the tents one evening...




our tent city with bikes


We caravaned over the Astoria bridge... four miles long and blanketed in fog. Luckily Axel and I caught up with another family, so we had moral support.








And celebrating our last day with huckleberry ice cream.
