This morning I was suddenly awakened by the sound of a delivery truck dropping his lift to make a delivery... a full 30 minutes before my alarm was set to go off! Grrr... now wide awake, might as well get up and going.
My new friends and I decided to go to a local cafe for breakfast. Ended up walking around downtown Pendleton to get there, and obviously to get back. I am going to like it here, I can tell already! Stores open at 9-ish... and close at 5-ish. After 5pm, restaurants and bars are the only thing open in the downtown area.
Pendleton actually has a lot of history. I am looking forward to visiting and exploring the area over the next few weeks. Likewise, half a days ride and I can be in Portland, Seattle, or Spokane. A full days ride to Vancouver, BC.
My friends hit the road at 10am, saw them off. My room was on the exterior (street-side) of the building. To avoid a repeat of this morning, and to be able to see/get to my bike, I asked to change rooms. So I got one on the interior of the building, bike parked right outside my window/door.
Today I took it easy. Did some laundry, read, relaxed, watched a few movies on HBO. A pretty kick back day overall! Starting to settle in.
Tomorrow, I plan on taking a ride through town, around the area, a time-run to the hospital, and find where the WalMart and grocery store is.
No pictures today... sorry. Will take some tomorrow!
