Riding on Down the Coast, Well Eventually

My sister flew in to Seattle on Labor Day and we spent a couple of days exploring the city while waiting for her bike to arrive. Highlights include: Science Fiction Museum/Experience Music Project, Olympia Sculpture Park, Pike Place Market, and Salumi. Thanks to Peter and Eddie for being great hosts!

Eddie joined us for the next part, the San Juan Islands. We went to San Juan Island. We stopped in the Whale Museum and biked to Lime Kiln State Park, in hopes of seeing some orcas. No luck but there were some beautiful views! We saw some porpoise and dolphins. We camped at San Juan County Park with a great view of the Strait.

Eddie returned to Seattle and Jaclyn and I went on to Lopez Island for a relaxing day. Wandering around Lopez Village and bicycling the rolling hills of the island.

Now we're in Port Townsend ready to set off down the Olympic Peninsula, along Hood Canal, out to the coast and then from Astoria in to Portland. We're hoping for some sunny weather to dry us out from the rain on the San Juans, but we've got some intense fog.

Pictures and more updates are to come.
