Here is a picture I took tonight during the (almost) nightly trek down to watch the sun set and read for a bit. This is from the the bike path that runs over the Bellingham Bay.

Last night I was fortunate to attend a dinner party in Sudden Valley hosted by a couple that I do some work for. She heads a non-profit here in Bellingham that reaches around the globe working for peace, education, and microlending to women. The organization is called the Sound Essence Project. Now in the past year, Susan has been to Burundi, North and South Korea, Israel and Palestine and spoken in front of the UN.
This week she is leaving for a one-week trip to Mongolia where she makes an annual pilgrimage for peace and education. Some of the families she worked with are involved in the non-profit and live both in the US and Mongolia. Last night was a reunion of the people form the States with the Mongolian families. Being in the midst of this happiness, warmth and good energy was tremendous.
The link above shows pictures of their last trips.
