Everything has been great! We are healthy, happy, and tan...We are having a great time and seeing the beautiful Pacific Northwest. For being 9 totally different individuals we are getting along wonderfully and having so much fun :) We arrived in Seattle and had our first dinner together at a Thai restaurant. Our group is composed of 2 vegans, a gluten free, 2 vegetarians and 4 meat eaters, so eating together is an adventure and challenge at the same time. Our first day out in Seattle we had some bike issues (7 flats) but Tony took care of our bike troubles. He's our bike hero. We visited the original Starbucks and hit up the Experience Music Project.
From Seattle we avoided the scheduled train and biked 50+ miles our second day out!! This group is amazing!! We arrived in Whidbey Island a little wet and tired, but nevertheless proud and accomplished. From there we biked and camped at Deception Pass and then made our way to Larabee. We were able to have some pretty amazing fires and s'mores at our campsites...Three nights of camping and we made our way to Birch Bay hostel where we had movie night with popcorn...Canada here we come, our first stop was Vancouver where we swam at Stanley Park and biked the perimeter of the island. Canada's weather has been gorgeous and we have taken the best bike trails. Now we are in beautiful and quaint Victoria. We walked around downtown and experienced authentic Carribean food. Tomorrow we have some fun activities planned in Victoria...more to come...stay tuned!!
