New Friends


There are some really cool people on this trip.  I was telling my brother, Pete, about Kathryn in particular.  I said something like, "I've been riding with this really sweet person named Kathryn."  And Pete said something like, "Sweet, huh?  As opposed to all the other jerks on the trip."  Really, we're running a pretty jerk-free operation.  We've enjoyed cycling with all 144 of these folks and we LOVE the support team.

Anyway, here's my new friend Kathryn (the person I ride with) and I.






We also made friends with a Calvin grad that was at Calvin while we were there but whom we had not met until now.  His name is Dave, so he and Dave have a lot in common.  And we met Aaron at the airport as he first flew in to Seattle at the start of the trip.  He thought we were the shuttle and were going to drive him back to camp.  Ha.  We didn't have the vehicle, but he still thinks we're cool now I think.  We think he's cool at least.

It looks like Dave T. is growing a Dave M. on his shoulder. He'd better get that checked.

Glad to hear that you're keeping our brother Aaron in check!

I think we're hearing more about him through your blog than his own...tell him to write more! :)

You are right when you say that Kathryn is a sweet person. She goes to our church and we love her tonnes. Say hi to her for me, Alida Vander Veen

Hey Dave & Liz - Glad to read you are doing well. We think about you a lot. Dave T. is son of Larry & Anne - Anne's brother was best man in our wedding. Small world, eh?
