Portland to San Diego road trip: Montreal
And so begins what shall be known as Alex and Stephane’s Portland (OR) to San Diego (CA) epic adventure.
Why an adventure? Because we’ll be driving all the way rom Portland (OR) to San Diego (CA) over the next 6 days, in Alex’ (aka Viper007Bond, since he was a kid) now-acquired dream car: his 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible!
How could this not be epic?
We’ll be meeting our Automattic friends in San Diego, and spend the week there when we’re done.
When that plan first came up, and Alex mentioned he was considering driving, I had a message sent to him within a couple of minutes, asking if he wanted a co-pilot. He replied just a fast, saying that that might actually make the trip more feasible (it’s a long drive on one’s own, company is a must).
And so here I am, sitting at Moe’s, in Montreal’s international airport (YUL), waiting to board my flight to Vancouver (BC), then Portland.
Being such an experience, I’ve decided to record as much of it as possible in text. video and pictures. You’ll therefore be able to follow along right here on my site. I’ll be tagging all related posts with PDX-SAN, for posterity.
On this, my chicken quesadillas are here, so… more when I get to the West Coast. 🙂

Tierra del Fuego to Alaska truck
Saw this beauty parked on my way to picking the kids up at school.
Met the owner too. He’s just made it to Montreal from Tierra del Fuego (most southern point of South America, in Chile), and will be heading to Alaska from here.
Sounds awesome, doesn’t it?

Passion flower (Passiflora)
That sure is an elaborate flower. Shot in my Montreal backyard.
Update: I was so focused on the flower, I didn’t even notice the little yellow spider on it, until now. 🙂

Montreal in Pictures’ Project 365
I’m really enjoying following this UK expat‘s daily blog: Montreal in Pictures. Beautiful photos, often in my very own neighborhood, Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal, or Mile End, downtown, and more.
