After 5 days in Portland catching up on current events, we are headed to Canada! (And who knows if we'll come back.) First needed to work our way up the Washington Coast and around the Olympic Peninsula to Port Angeles. This is like "home turf" since we lived here for several years back in the mid-70's. The beaches of southern Washington tend to be much wider and sandy vs rocky like Oregon and Northern California.
 |
| And a little colder than the previous beaches. |
But then they turn rocky as you go further north.
 |
| Complete with a cave..... |
 |
...and a fearful Dragon which I felt duti-bound to slay so as
to save the Fair Maiden Valerie |
The even further north into
the deep jungles of the
Hoh Rain Forest,
 |
DRIVE FASTER or they'll fill in the road and
we'll be trapped forever. |
And escape to Canada
 |
| And tell me WHY you'd trust your life to a ferry named THAT! |
Made it to Canada and through customs without being waterboarded. (We'll see if that works for the return trip.) Although one of the ferry dock hands on the US side gave us a list of prohibited fruits and veggies and offered to toss the REALLY delicious cherries we bought just a couple of hours earlier. I'm a little suspicious since the Canadian customs guy never mentioned anything like that.
Stayed the night in a hotel were I had the BEST chicken-chorizo sausage mac and cheese I've (n)ever had. It was completely worth the case of almost terminal heartburn about 3 am.
Good night from Victoria BC.
