Breathtaking Morning and The Olympics

What? You think I am going to talk about the China 2008 Olympics, but you are wrong, wrong, WRONG. After slogging through two days of on-again-off-again drizzle, light showers, and downpours, the sky cleared late yesterday, the sun broke through, and this morning, we had a breathtaking view of the Olympic Mountains. You might even notice there is a trace of SNOW on the mountains.

You gotta dress in layers. One minute you will be shivering, the next, when the sun comes out, you will be sweating. None of that matters – once the sun comes out, this place is gorgeous.

  2. Aafke – spoken as a true Netherlander! I have a friend who had never been in their part of the USA – she now lives here. She said when they came, they looked around and thought “this is a lot like where we lived in Germany!” They are SO happy here!
