NOT REALLY! RAINIER WAS BORN IN SEATTLE IN 1878 BEFORE THE STATE OF WASHINGTON WAS EVEN A STATE, BUT WELL AFTER MOUNT RAINIER WAS RENAMED BY CAPTAIN GEORGE VANCOUVER FROM IT’S ORIGINAL NATIVE AMERICAN NAME TAHOMA

O ,I know Trish will !. She’s been pining for those armrests for a long time. Plus now I don’t have to interrupt her music listening to ask her “ where the hell are we “.

good idea, right now when she gets off the bike, takes off her helmet and puts her hat on, then asks me “ how do I look ?” , I say you look beautiful, to which she replies, “ Ya right “.

Re-evening Woodsnitzes. About as far south as I can go in Mexico and the vibe is totally different here. At the airport, the announcements cautioned against taking unapproved taxis and they had loads of signs warning about human trafficking.
