Day six

I am writing from the luxury of a bed. It is amazing how good it feels. We are the guests of the Jewish community of Spokane and we are all being housed with varioUs families. My host has myself and Kim.  Tonight we will go back to the synagogue for a pot luck dinner prepared by the Jewish . What luxury - a bed and no cooking.
Even though it did rain a bit from Harrington to Spokane it was a really nice ride. Many hills,  but all doable. Well except the one in Spokane which reminded be of Allerton Hill in Hull.  I road mostly by myself, except for a small stretch with Elizabeth, who sadly is only biking for the one week. She lives in Spokane and has 4 kids it was a big deal for her to be as to get away for the week.
Getting through Spokane was a bit tricky with lots of turns, but very pretty. One turn was not on our que sheet which was quite annoying, but using google maps is very helpful. I wound up using it a lot today. Spokane is nicely set up for bikers, although it was very hilly to get to our destination .  I will go out now and talk to my host family.
 I will do some exploring of Spokane by foot tomorrow.
