Po\u010das\u00ed slibuje vy\u010dasit se, tak\u017ee snad bude k vid\u011bn\u00ed alespo\u0148 druh\u00fd vrchol dne. V roce 1980 vybuchl\u00e1 sopka mt. st. Helena.

M\u00edstn\u00ed kav\u00e1rna si n\u00e1s ov\u0161em z\u00edsk\u00e1 hned. Sn\u00edda\u0148ov\u00e9 tousty jsou \u201cdelicious\u201d, obsluha p\u0159\u00edjemn\u00e1.

Pokra\u010dujeme krajinou, kde Santa p\u011bstuje sv\u00e9 v\u00e1no\u010dn\u00ed stromky do ka\u017ed\u00e9 dom\u00e1cnosti a koch\u00e1me se lesnatou pahorkatinou, jej\u00ed\u017e ka\u0148ony se \u010dasto m\u011bn\u00ed ve vodn\u00ed plochu.

V n\u00e1v\u0161t\u011bvnick\u00fdch centrech studujeme, jak se p\u0159\u00edroda zm\u011bnila a vzpamatov\u00e1vala po v\u00fdbuchu v roce 1980 a nakonec se dostaneme a\u017e k ust\u0159elen\u00e9 \u0161pi\u010dce.<\/p>\n
V jej\u00edm st\u00ednu ob\u011bdv\u00e1me p\u00e1rky, s\u00fdr a slab\u00e9 dva dny starou bagetu.

Pak n\u00e1s \u010dekal p\u0159ejezd do Oregonu. Ve srovn\u00e1n\u00ed s cestou na Alja\u0161ku je tu v\u0161echno mnohem bl\u00ed\u017e a stav\u00edme \u010dast\u011bji.

Pokud nebyla viditelnost ve Washingtonu ide\u00e1ln\u00ed, Oregon n\u00e1m v\u0161echno vynahradil. Pokud n\u011bkdy budete v Portlandu, nev\u00e1hejte a je\u010fte se kouknout na vodop\u00e1dy Multnomah Falls u Columbia river. S v\u00fd\u0161kou 191 metr\u016f jsou vskutku impozantn\u00ed. \u017dasnout budete pod nimi i nad nimi.<\/p>\n
Zaj\u00edmav\u00fd je i Portland.

Asi jsem to u\u017e n\u011bkdy v televizi vid\u011bl. Pl\u00e1\u017ee Pacifiku. Kilometry p\u00edsku a po\u0159\u00e1dn\u00e9 vlny. Jen\u017ee realita tohle v\u0161echno p\u0159ed\u010d\u00ed.

Koup\u00e1n\u00ed. Moc jsme tomu zat\u00edm nedali. Sprchy nejsou a jezera studen\u00e1.

S\u00e1m jsem musel po\u010dkat do kempu na pob\u0159e\u017e\u00ed.

Vhod\u00edm minci, sko\u010d\u00edm pod kohoutek a nic se ned\u011bje. Vrac\u00edm se k automatu a zji\u0161\u0165uju, \u017ee minimum jsou \u010dtvr\u0165\u00e1ky dva. V\u00fdborn\u011b.
