Two Different Styles of Adventure Merge Into One
It went a little something like this: βWanna go on an amazing date today? Itβs TOP SECRET! I canβt tell you where weβre going.β // βCan you tell me the general area so I know how to dress and what to wear?β // βNo. Itβs too secret. That would spoil everythingβ // βI donβt know. I gotta know at least the basic general info.β // βSorry to get your hope ups but I donβt knowβ¦ I can say one thing. Weβll be in Beaverton and within a few miles of my place and itβs gonna be... Amaaaazing.β
We ended up going to the Beaverton location of Powell Books β the biggest bookstore in Portland & itβs localβ¦ we didnβt have to teleport to get there! Upon arrival I said, βHereβs todayβs challenge: we are each going to buy a book β that we select β for the other person. What two books did we pick? Amanda picked Tracks by Louise Erdrich for Adam. Meanwhile, Adam picked Ultra Marathon Man by Dean Karnazes for Amanda. It was a fun time and helped us learn more about each other by reading a book that the other had enjoyed reading.
After our visit to Powells, we took a detour to a fairly unknown, yet perfectly lovely, urban waterfall. And (dah dum), we took our first βusieβ together! It was a nice cherry on top of an otherwise lovely day.
