Total KM today = 582
Left at 8 am under cloudy skies but no rain which was great. A little cool but warmed up nicely as we rode. Range of temperatures from 3.5 C to 26.5 C. Nice friendly female border guard - hope that has set the stage for things to come!
Had lunch Medical lake - just outside of Spokane. Got very windy later in the afternoon as we approached the Columbia R. region of southern Wash.
Are in Boardman Oregon for the night (just south of the Tricities, Washington area). Boardman has a large Mexican population, no doubt working in the agricultural industry in the area. So we are having "in room" mexican shrimp tortillas prepared by Jose, the local supermarket butcher! The checkout girl says Jose knows his stuff! She started to speak to another teller in Spanish. I think we are in trouble - neither of us caught a single word.
