After we arrived at the airport Monday night, we took a shuttle van to our hosts house in Everett, a city about a half an hour north of Seattle.  We received royal treatment with Dr. Phil and Barb Smith, our hosts in Everett for our first two nights.  They're friends of Sally Jo, a friend from our days with Asia Connect.

                           We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the spring blossoms in the Smith's yard. 

On Tuesday morning, we picked up our bikes from Bicycle Centre in Everett where we had shipped them two weeks ago. Bicycle Centre had re-assembled them and tuned them up so when we picked them up they were ready to go.

After picking up our bikes, we rode back to Smith's house and then we headed out to the nearby Indian Reservation, where Sally Jo hosted us on a picnic at Kayak Beach on Puget Sound.  However, we left our bikes at home as we rode with Barb.  We spent a sunny afternoon with Sally Jo, her 94-year old mom, her niece, and Barb.

                We enjoyed the bright sunshine, and a strong wind whipped up some pretty hefty waves.
