Our first day went smoothly. We took a bus to Lakewood, where we transferred to a second bus to Olympia. Two buses down, seven to go!
We left our suitcase at the hotel desk and spent a few hours exploring Olympia. We actually know the city pretty well, because we came down in our boat in 2017 and spent a few days at the marina, and then in 2021 we stayed a few days in a converted school bus through Airbnb.
We ate a picnic lunch at Percival Landing Park, that I had prepared at home. Then we accidentally discovered a huge and bustling covered farmers market -- what fun!
After a mocha and pastry at a vegan cafe, we checked into the hotel and had a nap. For dinner we went to a wonderful vegan restaurant a block from the hotel.
Tomorrow is when the adventure really begins. By late afternoon hopefully we'll be in Kalaloch.
