In most parts of the country, when traffic has to stop and wait for something, people freak out. But in Washington, people just turn off their cars and go “whatever.” We spent a lot of time waiting for drawbridges and construction to do their thing. I took a picture whenever we were stopped.

This was, by far, the worst. We waited for something like half an hour on this barge that was making its way veerrryyy sllooowwlly toward the bridge. And I really had to pee. Really badly. And everyone else was like, “whatever.”

Driving up the mountain, waiting for trucks to move some dirt around or something:

One lane was closed for roadwork, so we had to wait for the cars from the opposite direction to make their way in the one open lane:

As luck would have it, we kept missing the previous convoy and ended up being in the front each time:

This is in Forks. Again, only one lane was open:

This one happened just after we’d taken a wrong turn:

This was again when we had missed our road and had to turn around (the roads in WA don’t make much sense):

And everyone else was just like, “whatever.”
