Day 5, Friday July 4th – Yakima to Sunnyside – 66km



We had another short day today which again was nice. On route we stopped at a CRC church in a town called Zillah who had refreshments for us. It was so nice because even though it is not home, in a way it feels like home just because of the CRC connection – I love it.
What we biked through was much more, but whatever is green in these parts is because off irrigation. So along the way we saw a lot of different kinds of orchards.

Today is also independence day, so because us Canadians are just so kind we decided it would be ok that for ONE day we would put American flags on our bikes…….. but some of us had Canadian flags on our bikes already that were bigger than the American ones… haha.

Before dinner myself and a couple friends walked into Sunnyside to a market and bought some cherries and blackberries….. they were so good. The Church in Sunnyside fed us supper and it was also really good. The majority of the population in Sunnyside is Hispanic so thats the kind of food we got – it way yummy. But I was still pretty full from the fruit. Afterwards we went and had root beer floats and watched fire works.
