After what seemed like weeks (actually a day or so in Corvallis, then nearly a week in Portland), Ivi drives in at about 8:30pm. She arrives with Trader Joe bounty and regales us (minor abridged version) with tales of her adventures, deferring major regaling until tomorrow. And she reminds us that this could be a watershed event, as it is the first time that she has made an almost all-day road trip completely solo where she alone could make the decisions about where and when to take rest stops.
