Olympia Hospitality
by Emily in Hosts
The trek from Tacoma to Olympia was less eventful than day one. But we experienced a drastic shift between tranquil Steilacoom to the practicing shooting brigade at Fort Lewis.
We were greeted by Max’s aunt and uncle Jane and John Wingfield, in Olympia last night with a van to carry our sloppy bob trailers and bikes to their warm home. Yes, we cheated for a few miles…
After cleaning up we ate more than our usual portions of chicken and pasta salad. Then around 7pm a group of about 10 lovely people showed up to hear about Spoke Your Mind and our endeavors. Max and I gave a presentation by walking through the website on a large monitor screen. After watching the SpokeTube video the group opened to discussion. It felt like a safe and welcoming environment for people to share input and ideas, and Max and I gained a lot from this small but powerful group. We hope to connect with them in the future.
Thank you Jane and John for organizing!!!
Now we must press on…
