North of Seattle

Short riding day today.  We stopped in Langley BC and toured the Alco aluminum plant, the company Cory gets his product from for his job.  Cool plant.

We then went to Swiss Chalet for the last time.  Cory carried me kicking and crying from the restaurant.  I sobbed like a baby for hours.  :)

We stopped by Pacific BMW to get some visors for our helmets.  They didn't have any in stock.  So the accessories manager called the owner at home and asked if they could take apart the two helmets they had in stock.  The owner said sure, whatever to help out.  We got there, and they not only gave us the visors, they gave us a couple other pieces off the helmets that we needed too.  Plus stickers and T-shirts.   We NEVER would have expected such gracious help, but it was offered without us even asking.

This is the second time that we have been to Pacific BMW, and both times they have gone so far beyond our expectations.  

We crossed the border into the USA.  It took about 1 minute.  They scanned our passports, asked me where we were going, and waved us through.   Russia could learn a thing or 10 from them on border efficiency.  :)

We rode till about 6:00 pm, and are camped about 70km north of Seattle.  The ladies who run the campground kept the pool and hot tub open late for us.  Nice of them. :)

We had a great supper, and I did my first full Yoga practice on the road.    The wonderful teachers at my Yoga studio have allowed me to record Yoga classes for the last couple weeks.  So wearing my iPod, I can follow along wherever I am in the world, and still feel like I'm right back on my mat at home.  What a wonderful gift.  Thanks Sasha, Jen, Amy and Christine.  You do not know how awesome it is to have you along.

Gotta go to bed now, my fingers are too cold to type.  brrrrr....
