Olympia, Washington

January 5, 2008
We arrived on Friday to rain, but it stopped long enough for us to unload. The recent weather has knocked down many trees in the area and has created mudslides, devasting homes and businesses. We realized how fortunate we are. Olympia is a beautiful town with legislators, the military and environmental activists all in one smaller city. Fresh crab and oysters dominate local fare, and of course there is a sweet brewery in town (Fishtail Organic Brewery). We are stoked to check the town out, not to mention Olympic National Park, Mt. Ranier, skiing, wineries, and ferries to Seattle, the San Juan islands and Victoria Island in B.C. Canada! Here are shots of Capitol Lake right downtown Olympia and Goose & I pondering the beauty of the sound.
