Tuesday

I can't quite put how driving a rental car makes me feel; it's somewhere between "how can anyone allow me to do this" and "I am SO awesome right now". That said, I'm driving a Dodge Caliber.

Today I am heading a bit southeast in hopes of winding up at the Deschutes Brewery by day's end. First, though, I get to enjoy another round of Detour's delicious breakfast. Also, I am currently savoring my first cup of coffee in months.

Sensory memory is a funny thing. Literally after my first sip of Stumptown coffee I'm returning to my early twenties and what it felt like to live way out here. Though I'm sure that calm reminder will be abruptly derailed by my body's reintroduction to caffeine.

So far it's a hat trick of awesome days on this vacation. Cheers.
