Day 55-57 Vampires and Warewolves

We are still in Port Angeles, checking out the diversity of Washington State. We began one day hiking through a rain forest where trees start as saplings growing on the sides of fallen logs and grow into monsters with 18 foot diameter trunks. Everything is big in the rain forest, the trees, the ants, and especially the mosquitos. Later in the afternoon, we hiked through another rain forest and a mile later found ourselves on Third BEach, near Forks, Wa. What a change of scenery, rain forest then sand and waves, quite a diverse area.

If you haven't heard of Forks, then you probably aren't a fan of the Twighlight series. I too have not read the books but from what I am told, this vampire/ware wolf based series is centered around two towns, Forks and Port Angeles where we are staying. We spent one afternoon tagging Gowalla Twightlight sites. If you haven't played Gowalla, try it, but be warned it is addictive.

Our next MikroTik Training is now just 30 days out in Denver, Colorado so if you plan on attending, register soon.

Tomorrow (Sunday) we begin preparing for our ferry trip into Canada. We will be landing at Vancouver Island and visit Victoria, B.C. The ferry boar ride is probably going to be stressful and exciting so stay tuned for some likely blog material from that part of the adventure.

Remember Real Audio? they were one of the first to bring streaming music to the internet. I think there are plenty of competitors now but back in the day they were the bomb. I saw their home office in Seattle the other day and had to grab a photo.
