Olympia

On the weekend we arrived in Olympia the capital of Washington. The weather was predictably terrible but neither we nor the locals had expected snow. Apparently the relatively warm??? conditions were the cause of the very large snowflakes. It was very unusual for us to see snow right on the coast!

We enjoyed the Olympia Rotary spirit with a wonderful and snowy welcome party complete with magnificent prime rib. Miraculously the weather did clear up for a short time on Sunday resulting in some gorgeous views of the Cascades.

We must be moving up in the world as we were given a unique tour of the Supreme Court by the Chief Justice. The Temple of Justice has a long history and is a beautiful building. We also had the privilege of sitting in on parliament and toured the Capitol Building. The bill for enhancement of 911 was under debate but was certain to be voted in as the Democrats have a significant majority.

The GSE Team is a cohesive unit now and we are all enjoying the GSE experience.

Keep glued to your screens for more updates soon.
