I spent two nights on the Olympic Peninsula. The nights I couchsurfed at Sandy and Louie’s house outside of Port Angeles, and the day hiking in the Olympic Natinal Park. I also spent one and a half hour in Port Angeles, which is more or less enough to see what’s worth seeing and then have time to get bored.
But I think that I won’t write any more about my stay on the Olympic Peninsula, until I get a chance to upload the photos too. Because there simply are no words for the Olympic National Park.
I can tell you that my hosts in Port Angeles, Sandy and Louie, were great, though. They treated me like a long-expected guest, making me dinner and breakfast and giving me a lift in to town in the mornings. Their kids, Theo and Ansel, were super cute and the hens they had in their back yard made the longing back to Whiskey Creek Farm easier. Really, I can’t believe how lucky I’ve been with my Couchsurfing hosts this far.
I would gladly have stayed with Sandy and Louie for longer, hiking in the park in the daytime and playing board games with them at night. I would have been very happy. But I had to leave. Next stop: Seattle.
