Rest Day in Bell II Resort: Hot tub, TV and rain

August 17, 2007

We picked our rest day perfectly, first of all because of the TV room and the hot tub, but when we wake up this morning, it is cloudy and rain threatens. Last night a strong windstorm pushed through pushing out the warm weather. We sleep in, take a soak in the hot tub and have our cereal for breakfast. Then the rain starts, a downpour that lasts most of the day.

We go up to the TV room and spent most of our day there. Rachel does laundry and we catch up on the news on CNN. Seems like news is still entertainment in the US and not that much different from a year ago....we have lunch and dinner at the restaurant downstairs not the cheapest but good food.

After dinner we go to the rec room and watch TV it's a big screen and supposedly 500 channels! There's a local worker that comes in, he's chatty and tells us there are 2 bikes downstairs. We go to the dining room and meet Noah & Simon. They later come upstairs. Simon grew up in Africa and just finished study in International studies and is a musician. Noah is a bike mechanic in Eugene (and we think probably knows our friend Dan Chan) and is moving to Bellingham to study Environmental design. They are on a short trip from Vancouver to Skagway. It's late when we finally get in the tent...

...just as the rain starts.
