Big planes

This morning we left Keith and Sharon. Didn't really want to though. There are a few hundred hikes we could do and some more world matters to take care of. Not this time though. But thanks for some wonderful days.

Mikkel had persuaded Malene to do a little excursion to Boeing's museum and factory tour - The Future of Flight. So we headed for Everett and spent a couple of hours there looking at planes - and was inside the buildings where they assemble the planes. Very impressive but no pictures due to company policy. Viewing the 777, 747 and 787 assembly lines is really impressive though. It was Sunday so the factory didn't operate at full speed but there was activity inside and outside the building.

We headed back to Seattle and dropped of our car, met with Jana and found a nice vegetarian/Kosher restaurant. It was our turn to pay back for her hospitality a bit. It has been so kind of her to let us stay in her home.

On the way back from the restaurant she did the scenic tour of the neighbourhood so we saw some of the nice places close to the water. A bit exhausted from all the hiking (yes), we had a quiet evening and packed our stuff for our departure tomorrow. Oregon and Gaston - here we come.
