Portland
Wow. The Northwest has a charm all of its own: lush landscapes, friendly locals, and incredible cities to explore. And we've done plenty of city exploring on our time off. Yesterday we had 4 hours free in Seattle and just as many free today in Portland. I had a bit different first day than most - my brother and I met a family friend and went out to lunch, and then on to the Seattle Asian Art Museum and the Seattle Sculpture garden. It's great to be able to travel with such a great group of guys and also visit good friends.

After a successful first concert, we drove south to Portland. We were dropped off near the center of the city, and after wandering a bit in Powell's, the world's largest bookstore, a group of us headed to a Thai restaurant for lunch. It was there that I hooked up with a recent GC grad, Ben Luginbuhl, and hit the town, doing a bit of shopping and sightseeing. After eating Thai for the second time today at Portland Mennonite, we greeted another near-packed sanctuary for our evening concert.

At this point, I have to say that I, and most of the guys are still “floating on air” a bit after the concert. We've had amazing crowd responses so far and we finish off with two joyous, boisterous, and energy-filled songs that leave us on an energy high that is still very evident on the bus :). We're on our way to meet our hosts for the evening in Hubbard, OR. Can't wait to see what lays in store for us tonight!
