Count all of the beautiful things you can see

Top pictures are scenic views of la from the top of one of LA's crazy hills. Then the wild peacock that we saw (we actually saw two but I couldn't snap a picture of the second because I didn't know I he liked me.. Apparently not.) Then the second pictures are of the beautiful beach we went to in Malibu today! So wonderful!! We did see a seal today... But it was dead :(:(. So much fun with Steve today.

Now we are in Medford, Oregon - the gateway to crater lake!! Holy blueness crater lake! (Did I mention that I tried Ethiopian food in Portland?) Thanks to Christina (who I haven't seen in two years!!) we have a place to stay before we make it to California. Today we hiked a total of 5.6 miles and climbed a total of 1,710 feet! We hiked up to Garfield peak and got an amazing overlook of this once volcano now super blue lake!! Then we hiked 700ft down to the water where Arry finally got to try out his life straw so we drank safe water directly from crater lake!! We saw some people cliff jump and Arry got his feet wet in the cold water. Apparently 200ft (the lake is 2000 ft deep) below the surface the water is always 38 degrees. Brr. To the redwoods we go tomorrow!!

Portland is so so cute and our hosts were awesome and showed us some great spots! In case you were wondering You get fined if you font recycle and compost correctly! and we went to the feminist bookstore in portlandia annd a bookstore hats an entire square block! Thanks to Katie and ash and Lucas and Emily for a great time in Portland. Also thanks to the AppleCare and the apple store I have a new phone!! Also please notice the ice skating rink in the mall?

New phone! Portland is my new favorite place! But off we go to see Christina in Medford,or. Thanks Lucas and Emily for everything!!

These are some pictures from the Bruce Peninsula, in Canada.  This was the reason we went to canada.  It was GORGEOUS.  It seemed like we were in the middle of the Mediterranean NOT canada.  I went cliff jumping in the grotto(it was only like a ten foot jump, but because I could see ALL the way to the bottom it felt like a 100 ft jump)! Arry went swimming.  Our breath was not only taken away by how beautiful it was but by how COLD the water was as well. 

This is the end of our tag sale!! We did so well! They rest got donated. I'm proud of us. Now mom is coming up to help us move the rest of our stuff into storage tomorrow. 4 days!!
