Doug, Greg and I took the Ferry to San Juan Island yesterday and biked around the whole island for a total of 43 miles. It started out drizzly,but then the sun came out and it was incredibly beautiful and nice. We are so lucky. The 43 miles took all day as we stopped so often to take pictures and enjoy the views. We saw the following wildlife: otter, sea lions, deer, grey fox, and the following domestic animals: cows, sheep, alpacas and a camel named Mona Lisa!
We ate crab cakes and fries as we waited to board the ferry to return to Anacortes. We are staying at a great place: Ships Harbor Inn, recommended by my cousin Kathleen. It is right next to the ferry dock. I recommend it as a jumping off point. We also found a campground on San Juan which has sites for bikers and kayakers for $10 night overlooking the water. Next time!
We purged our gear last night and sent some home with Greg. We feel like we are being minimalist, but the B.O.B. trailer bag still seems heavy!
We are so grateful to my cousin, Kathleen, her husband,John, and sons, Michael and Charlie for all they did for us...picked us up at the depot, took us for a bike ride around Seattle, fed us, let us stay in their guest room and then took us all the way to Anacortes! Thanks!!
