Pickin' up the pace...

DAY 14 Wednesday, April 25: We made good time today... so good that we were at Grant's Pass by mid-day... way too soon to stop. So we kept going and ended up in Springfield, Oregon.  This is great because we were wanting to stop here anyway to do a wee bit of shopping.  So, we've spent a comfortable night at the Comfort Inn (no pun intended); indoor pool and hot tub as well as another very nice suite.  Watched a movie called 'War Horse'... and liked it. It appears we've managed to shave a day off our travels and may actually be into Richmond by Friday afternoon... fingers crossed.
DAY 15 Thursday, April 26:  We're up, Kath's had a swim, a warm breakfast awaits us.  Then we're off to check out a couple of things and hit the road.  Next stop, Bellingham.  We're so close we can taste it!!

You know, we really grew to appreciate, very much, the beauty of the land and sea in Mexico.  I had no idea rocks, red rocks, could look so beautiful...  the striations continue to lure me and my camera lens.  But, the vibrant greens of our own terrain... that which is truly home... are the most beautiful colours in the universe.  And the air smells so good!  We remain truly blessed by the grandeur of our world.

Day 16 should see us through the border, to White Rock to drop off Vicky's stuff, and in to Richmond. Will write again once our mission has been completed...  Hope all of you are doing well.  Have a great day... CJ
