Seattle/Anacortes

Our flight was on time.
Luggage and bikes came through.
Our Lebanese team member spent over an hour in customs.
His luggage and bike arrived 36 hours after he did.
We arrived at our host home at midnight (Pacific Time).
Eight hours of sleep.
Monday was getting acquainted, assembling bikes, logistics, meetings.

Today has been exciting, frustrating, humbling, anxious, boring, interesting, lonely, hilarious.

It's been that "driving from Kingston to Grand Rapids to meet you after not having seen you for 4 weeks while we were dating, not knowing what is going to happen with this relationship" kind of feeling. Remember Ronda?

Our Team.
Eighteen people.
Thirteen riders.
Five support.
From four different countries.
College students.
High School teachers.
YFC staff.
Homemakers
Retired businesspeople.
Engineers.
Husbands & wives.
Father & daughter.
Father & son.

On this trek together to experience our friendship with God and with each other.
To help reach kids across the world.
With the life-changing message of Jesus' amazing love.
Thank you Jesus.

And thank you, our family and friends for joining us on this adventure. 

Tomorrow we dip our tires in the Pacific Ocean.
Tomorrow we ride.

Dan & Zack
