What do you do when you have an entire free day in Seattle, WA?Visit Mount Rainier of course! While about half of us went to Bainbridge Island or went wine tasting or visited Microsoft or saw Vancouver, Canada, 21 of us spent the entire day at Mount Rainier.
There were incredible views and an abundance of snow- it was great. Ever body surfed down the side of a mountain? That was one of the many adventures we had as we traversed mud, snow, and ice for 8 hours yesterday.
Oh and we sang in the visitors lodge and on the trails, because we do sing from time to time.

All in all it was a fantastic day for everyone, and we all miss Seattle a lot now that we've begun the rest of our tour. Today, we left Seattle, WA for Portland, OR. It was raining when we took our Bolt Buses here, so we couldn't appreciate the beauty of the city, but we're sure to have a great time. Many of us went out this evening already to celebrate Forrest Milburn's 19th birthday at a fantastic Japanese restaurant down by the water.
Tomorrow, we'll have our 2nd and 3rd gigs of the tour, the first for Matt Sherer and the second for a retirement community here in Portland. We're very excited to be performing officially again, although we could be heard throughout Seattle singing as we walked from place to place. After that, some of us are going to enjoy some of Portland's many food trucks - which rival those in Philly! - and experience some real Guamanian food in honor of our guitarist and all-around-awesome member Rigel Swavely, who is from Guam.
With all that to look forward to we need to get our rest, so that's all for today, but check out the pictures from Mount Rainier below!
All the best to our friends at home,
The Penn Glee Club

| Of course we sang at the lodge partway up the mountain! |
 |
| The moment when we realized how much more of the mountain was left... |
 |
| The start of the day, when people still had energy |
 |
| The whole group of us together before our adventure began! |
 |
| The day wouldn't have been complete without a failed shirtless pyramid |
 |
| Our musical performances aren't the only things that are strong! |
 |
| Why would you take a picture shirtless in the middle of a snow-covered trail? Our response: why not? |
