Today we met Earline Orndorff, the co-ordinator of this part of our itinerary. She took us through the details briefly, and then Ernie introduced us to our first host families. We are all overwhelmed at the hospitality of these wonderful people, who have so willingly allowed us into their homes.
Earline and Bill (her husband) presented an early challenge to the team when Bill invited Anna, Norah-ann and Trevor to go cycling with him. Bill is an avid cyclist who has a certificate to prove that he has cycled all of Switzerland's cyclable mountains, including the famed Alps D'Huez. It was a super way to see a little more of Roanoke. While those three were being put through a strenuous workout, Grant enjoyed a visit to Smith Mountain Lake and PJ participated in a local church service, courtesy of their respective hosts!
