Washington is having record high temperatures right now. It is 100 degrees today. Mike and I drove to Seattle so he could pick up his new check card and credit cards. We now know what it is to experience culture shock. Although we live in a big city, we have not been around it for six weeks now. Traffic, impatient drivers, hurried people, parking regulations, etc. seem like a distant past to us. As we were sweating our butts off in the sweltering heat trying to figure out the new parking meters, frustration brewed to a boiling point for both of us. Just as I was praying for God to please take me back to Alaska, Saint Blair came to our rescue. Blair was a true angel. He offered us quarters for the meters, walked us to a pub and grill, and spent two hours with us showing us the route we needed to take to get to the Pacific Coast Highway 101. Blair also guided us to the expressway so we could get out of the hustle and bustle of city life. Just when we thought the people we met couldn't get any nicer we met Blair. Thank you Blair, you are a true Good Samaritan. We proceeded to take the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry and then we stayed at Sequim State Park for the night. As soon as we got closer to the coast, it cooled down and watched another amazing sunset. Then we did our usual routine: Stop, Pop, Shuffle, and Drop (stop at a site, pop the top, shuffle our things, and drop the bed). We were exhausted!
