We walked from Lacey past the Capitol in Olympia into Tumwater. The brisk wind slowly drained my reserves as I found my way thru the maze of streets, bike paths and I-5 overpasses. Though many honked or slowed to catch an image on the camera very few took time from the commute. Many smiles. Those who stopped were helpful with directions south. When I could go no further and sat to rest on a wall between two parking lots a woman came a soon offered a ride to retrieve the support van. The few were just enough. The owner of the property who allowed us to stay for the night had been diagnosed recently with diabetes. Small world...
Walk for you own good, it will make a difference.

Saw you on 99 on your way to Tenino, had to look you up to see what your cause was. Good luck on your travels.
Had a great time chatting with you at the ground mound I-5 interchange. Hope the cars keep they're eyes on the traffic around them. ;) have a safe journey, good luck and God Bless.
I Saw you in Centralia today at almost 7 walking past the Centralia ACE Hardware. I was so excited seeing that huge ball that when my hubby got off work, i wanted to find where you were walking so i could show him :) Your cause is awesome. especially special to me, being that my entire mothers side of the family has diabetes.
