... went over to Ocean City on the WA coast. We stayed the first week at the Ocean Shores RV Resort, then the second week we divided between the Oceana RV Resort and the Copalis Beach RV Resort. The weather didn't co-operate very much...it was mostly cool, dreary and off 'n' on rainy the whole time.

From the Ocean City area we did the loop up and over the Olympic Peninsula up to Port Angeles and dry camped at a RV Park ...

... your feet. Not much to do beyond talking about the temples with other tourists over beers at night.

Highlights:
The temples
Good place to meet travelers
The Bike ride along the moats of Angkor Thom. Nobody else really does this so you are by yourself in the jungle.

Lowlights
Temples get crowded with tourists after about 9am. Go early.
The bike ride is a bit dangerous since you ride for about an hour in the dark and there are no street lights.

... loud enough for everyone 20 rows back to hear him and how very funny he was, and then he shared with us all that while we would be waiting at baggage claim he would begin his 40 minute drive home, which had no less than seven taverns on the way and he was doubtful he would make it to work tomorrow. Can I just say how very impressed I was? So on we went to baggage claim to claim our 194 pounds of ...

... shape is largely unknown. During a beautiful conversation the other day I was given the opportunity to articulate why it is that I am drawn to ministry.  The words that emerged are that I want to be deeply intimate with people as much as possible.  As I spoke them, I experienced that unique feeling some call Truth Tingles.  Whatever you call them, I knew I had just spoken a Deep Truth.   And Kai.  How is that beautiful boy?  The Light of My Life ...

... dachten wir würden mal was feines kaufen und haben uns für Miller Beer entschieden, aber am abend hat man uns dann aufgeklärt, dass das wohl das sternburg unter den ami bieren ist. Im Partykeller des Hostels haben wir bis spät in die Nacht noch Klängen zahlreicher country songs gehört - David und Eric haben beide super gitarre gespielt. Wir haben James Kirkham kennengelernt, ein Rennfahrer aus Portland (VW Jetta Cup)der uns zu sich nach hause eingeladen hat.

... which afford impressive views of the marina and the Seattle city centre in the distance. I wish I could make Seattle sound more interesting than this..... it's a beautiful city and one I'd have no hesitation going back to visit or even live in if ever given the chance in the future. I almost forgot that we also took a fascinating day trip up to Everitt and did a tour of the monstrous Boeing facilities. We popped in on our way back from the San Juan Islands and only expected to ...

... is our experience). People keep asking me how I am doing, me Kristy...well to be honest its misery watching someone you love so deeply suffer and feel so far out of their own body. Chemo week was incredibly difficult as there just wasn't anything I could do except love love love and that's all I wanted to do, just stay by him and hold, caress, and comfort him. I did a lot of that, but at the same time there are a lot of other ...

... my camera up for the perfect shot and just at the moment when it came crashing down the captain decided to turn the ship around and my perfect view was obscured by bits of his ship!! AGGGHHHRHRRR! Don't you just hate it when that happens? Returning to Anchorage to end this section we stopped off at Exit Glacier the bluest glacier I ever did see followed by a less significant Portage Glacier. The final section stayed at 8 people and a new leader Bob ...

I know there is more to Seattle than the Space Needle. But that was all we could manage with James today. The large crowd had him very nervous! He did a great job holding it together socially, but we know from past experience when he has reached his limit. There really isn't much to the Space Needle. SO here is a few pictures

... t really leaving and found out he went to get fingerprinted before he left the US (the new procedure for foreign nationals). He went back to his bag, so I felt better, but we kept our eyes on him anyways. After he got on the plane, he was mysteriously whisked to first class cabin from the back of the plane... Well, nothing happened, so I guess it s just our paranoia...
