Saturday out of Seattle...

Today is a great day, because we spent last night in a resort in the little Olympic Peninsula town of Sekiu. It is a small, mostly resort, community on a grand little bay -- currently filled with an array of campers, RV's, boats, trailers, trucks and about anything else you can think of. A youth salmon competition started this morning, so there are lots of families here with kids taking part. Nearly everyone here is from Washington -- only two vehicles from Montana and two from Oregon were spotted this morning on my exercise walk around the harbor.

While I sit behind the closed library in Clallam Bay using their wi-fi and outlet, at the recommendation of several different residents, Faith is at an organic natural food outlet, shopping for our weekend and remaining 14 days before flying home. It is quiet here, and the air is clean. The "escape" from urban vibration is exceedingly good for both of us, and we slept very well last night.

Since wi-fi is pretty limited around here, we may be a little limited on our ability to write on the blog every night. If you miss anything for a couple of nights, just know that we are in a beautiful rural area enjoying ourselves very much. As the owner of our resort, who used to live in Alaska, told us: "It's almost as good as Alaska!" We agree with her -- this is a grand part of Washington indeed.

Here's hoping you're having a great weekend too...

Dennis & Faith
