How dreamy to stroll under clear blue skies on a warm September afternoon, with neighbors from near and far. We had our second monthly Walk-n-Talk yesterday with a dozen two-footed walkers and three four-footed walkers, Lulu, Dingo and Khan. People came from as far away as Olympia, Kent and Bellevue to join the amble through the neighborhoods and around Lake Burien.

The walk is meant to go at an easy, comfortable pace for participants, so our group split into two clusters. By the time the last of us made it back into town, the low wall at the gateway to Olde Burien was a welcome rest stop.

Such a simple thing, just taking a walk with others. We all smile at the company and the shared exercise.

Next month, on October 2nd, we’ll pick another route from some that have been suggested by others. There are many areas of Burien to explore, and we see new things when on foot.
