I was starting to feel much better.

Bland grass with Blue Spruces growing out.

Haze hovering on the still bay.

Pretty little skull island.

Little white house on the point.

Winding road up the point

Burning wood smell.

Beautiful turning trees, adjacent to road.

Sounds of birds

Hills with brown sides + trees on top.

And I rode back to the car on the bike.

12:15 I noticed road sign for East Sound, so I took that little road, Crow Valley Road, and it was quite a treat. A valley of farms + horses. Went to La Familia's in East Sound again and had Dill Cod + Pesto Pasta, Salad with Tomato Parmigiana Suace (like yesterday), and ice tea.

1:00 Stopped at Tomplins for apples + Nestle Crunch, and drove back via Crow Valley Road, and took one last ride up the West Sound, for pictures.

1:30 Then I noticed it was time to head for the ferry, which I expected to be late. It wasn't but I was still one of the first. While waiting in line, I used restroom and bought an Orcas Island T-shirt. Wishing I had someone else to buy a gift for.

Back in the car, I started writing up this morning, but then we boarded + ferry left. So I spent time navigating, and had a good time seeing my favorite lookout point from the Ferry Dock at Lopez. Good trip. Except noticing other passengers: lots of bears, unruly hair, sideburns, woman embroidering kleenex, fat, etc.

4:00 Wanted to finish writing up today before heading home, so I stopped at the lookout point at Cap Sante in Anacortes. That was a very pleasant stop to unload all this.

4:30 Drove to Everett

5:30 Had Chinese dinner, brocolli + rice (fine), but the music kept changing pitch. Bizarre!

6:30 Head for Bellevue. Get gas + wash. Go to gym. Taking out contacts.

7:30 Half of workout - upper body (rock music sucks) since dinner not completely digested.

8:30 No new bugs for me.

No updated fails.

No urgent mail.

Leave message for Bob.

9:00 Call Mom + Dad. Tell ~ Orcas.

9:30 Go home. Put stuff away. Shower.

11:15 To bed.
