Friday Harbor Trip-Day 16

Another beautiful sunny day. Today was a lazy day with no sightseeing planned. Jim and I borrowed Jim and Cathy C’s truck and drove into town to do some shopping and have breakfast. We found a café that had tables overlooking the harbor so we had a great view while eating. After breakfast we did some shopping and then we drove around the island and saw some of the areas we hadn’t been to yet. There was one house that was by the water and they had all sorts of flowers and plants growing on their roof. It was really unique.

We are amazed at how brown the grass is here and hardly anyone waters their lawn. The island has a real prairie look to it with all the grasses and such and so little green.

This afternoon Jim and I went to Lime Kiln Park to whale watch but we didn’t see any. Some man told us that the whales had been sighted north of us and would be in our area in about an hour but it was getting late so we didn’t stay to see them. Maybe we’ll be able to go back again before we leave.
