The days before I flew home were spent exploring Anacortes and the San Juan Islands. I found a shuttle to the airport (thanks for taking care of that for me, Karissa. You're awesome.) and a bike shop willing to ship my bike.
I met some really great women whom I ended up camping with my last night. Barbara and Donna gave me a ride to my shuttle. Barbara fed me and paid my fare for a ferry ride. Donna accompanied me on the ferry boat ride and we explored Friday Harbor together. She also drove me and my bike to the bike shop.When I was leaving Friday Harbor I again ran into someone I knew. Lily was awaiting her ferry to British Columbia. We hugged. She commented on how clean I looked. I laughed. It warmed me to see her again. I was so glad. It felt right.
While spending time at Washington Park I ran into Joe. He hugged me and congratulated me. It was great to see him. I also got to see my Dutch friends again. They didn't recognize me all cleaned up either. It was nice to tell them goodbye as well.
I mostly relaxed and reflected. It was a good ending to my summer. Back to work and reality soon. I was going to miss riding every day.
I caught my late night shuttle to Seattle and caught my flight home to Pittsburgh.
The End.
