October 8: Got up and dressed, gathering my wet items in a plastic bag as I packed. Talked a bit to Ken who then left for work. I mounted up, and took off again down highway 2. I was a bit slow in my going, my knee tight from the moisture still in the air. I reached the outskirts of Spokane and proceeded to wander hoping my natural direction sense would get me there. Highway 2 became Division Street and posted no biking notices, so I had to turn off. I had some really bad Mexican and after about ten miles of wandering found myself at my Warm Shower host's, Mary, house. Still at work her housemates let me in and told me Mary would be home soon and would be making dinner. laundry, shower, the usual right into port. Things I'm so accustomed to doing right away it's rote. Being clean is still my biggest guilty pleasure on the road. after, I walked to the supermarket to get hair gel. Mary came home and we had a big breakfast as dinner meal of eggs, potatoes fresh bread and some wine. We talked a little Mary, myself, her housemate Tessa and Tessa's fourteen year old son, Michael. Gathering my clean cloths following dinner, I retired to my room for an early Friday night. To bed and warm relaxing sleep.
