A Trip to the Northwest

Images so far






~ the ferry: big lounges for people and two decks for cars, lots of beautiful scenery to enjoy although if I commuted on one daily, I would probably be able to get some work done


~ I finally got it: the boats in Seattle and Friday Harbor were So Much Bigger than the boats on Lake Tahoe because they are ocean going boats whereas our boats are lake boats.




~ It would have been fun to come to Friday Harbor on a seaplane but two ladies we met had done so and had to leave most of their luggage behind. I don’t know what we would have done - had Nikki mail it back home I guess. One of them had a son who was meeting them in Victoria with the clothes. 
~ island hopping planes are small whether sea or wheeled



~ Friday Harbor was Filled with blackberry bushes
~ Huckleberries were in season in Seattle
~ Iced tea is sweetened and so we are back to making cups of hot tea and asking for glasses filled with ice


~ wide sky and the smell of the sea almost everywhere


~ and it is really nice to be in Victoria
