After our first few days of climbing mountain passes, we have since biked some much easier days. They have been between 37 and 50 miles and over much flatter roads. We have also been so spoiled by the communities we have been through! We've had great accommadations at local schools in each city where we have stayed over night. They have opened their soccer fields to our tents- and the sprinklers only soaked our tents in the middle of the night once :). In Sunnyside, WA we were treated to a Mexican dinner, strawberry shortcake, rootbeer floats, and some of the best fireworks I've seen presented in a small rural community. We were also served refreshments along the road in Zillah. And in Kennewick, we were showcased in a tremendous Sunday morning worship service/ celebration rally. We walked across an outdoor stage to Queen's song about bicycles and had a good old fashioned potluck at the conclusion of the worship.
Dave and I were also blessed with the opportunity to stay with a host family in Kennewick. We slept on a bed last night and will get to again tonight! We are so thankful. Marv and Doreen Anderson you are such a God-send to us (and to the 4 other cyclists you housed this weekend)!
Thanks Doreen and Marv!
