Had a late night socializing with friends, and an early morning start to catch my train, by I made it just fine. Eric, the ever wise, checked our tires last night and noticed that I had a flat. Good thing we fixed it up last night instead if scrambling this morning. Neither one of us are sure what caused it, it's pretty mysterious. I suspect that the tube may have gotten pinched back on itself, but it's a very weak suspicion. Eric rode with me to the bus stop to send me off. Caught the bus into Seattle (and got to see then space needle!), and got on my train with plenty of time to spare. I've got to say, train travel it's also pretty nice. The route this train is taking is quite scenic, much more enjoyable than a bus. Exited to get to Portland. Not sure if I'll take a rest day tomorrow, I'll have to see how I'm feeling tonight.
