Yesterday evening I found out that I was missing my camera. I spent all of this morning looking for it. I went through all my stuff with no luck; I was devastated. I lost not only a very nice camera but all the photographs from Mount Vernon, WA to Portland, OR. Since I feel that it is necessary to document the trip, I ended up purchasing another camera, spending way more than I probably should have. I just didn't see any sense in buying a camera that I would never want to use again after the trip, so I opted for a pretty nice camera that I do not like the aesthetics and usability of. If I had the time, I would have purchased the exact camera that I wanted online but being on the road does not allow for such novelty.
As you can imagine, this happening put a damper on my day. The camera incident, paired with the overcast day, my medial leg pain coming back and leaving the comfort of the Donnelly household, made my departure from Vancouver, WA difficult and gloomy. Not to mention I did not get to say a proper goodbye to many of the people here in the Portland area because of our scheduling differences.
On a positive note: I am staying at my friend Jenny's house (a friend from camp Avanti!) and I had the opportunity to meet her lovely family and put her eldest child to bed!
Hopefully tomorrow will bring a better day. Less depressing would be nice!
