We didn't get to meet Rory since he was out of country. But he made sure that we were able to find his house and let us know in detail where to find the key. And right before we were leaving he made sure to communicate with us and asked us about our stay. Though we didn't get to meet him face to face, it felt as if he was looking out for us. And his house was just a few steps from Burke Gillman trail and we were able to get to everywhere we wanted to visit with our bikes. We totally enjoyed his house, Seattle, and even blue sky. We are definitely coming back.
