We rolled into Seattle yesterday and are enjoying Britta & Kevin's hospitality. I think there is some disagreement over whether the Rock Band game (beats the Wii hands down), the jet ski or the jacuzzi are the best features of our stay here. We have a rest day today, so large sums of money have been parted with at REI and various malls around town. There is a bit of flu going round the team, including the coach having lost his voice so hopefully today will be an opportunity for recovery.
We are all glad that we have no more long drives in the pre-tour. Over the last 3 days we have driven over 1300km with at least 18 hours in the car & vans (more for those who took the "scenic" route). This provided us with opportunities to get to know the team better, some cars having more poignant conversations than others. We also took in the beautiful Oregan Coastline and the amazing Californian Redwoods. Various wildlife has been spotted including a couple of elk, squirrels, skunks and very cute hummingbirds.
We have lots of good memories to take with us, Di's post-game cheer for Zeitgeist a particular standout. Ask her about it sometime!
We play Viva tomorrow morning, then Riot & Team Canada on Sunday, then all that remains is for the real thing... worlds.
