| Gary and Eric headed off on a bike ride on Tiger Mtn. |   With Steve and Ilana and babies at Chism beach park | Hmmm...showing just a little. |   Lotsa skin here! | Rented a double kayak around the Mercer Slough area. It was a little small for Eric. |     Eric went to San Jose for a conference. His hotel room... |   Eric's company did an overnight trip to Whidbey Island. Much fun was had by all. |     A trip to Vashon Island | There was a serious catepillar infestation there. They were all over the place, even on the beach. |   This dog kept on bringing us balls to throw. | Lots of cute, very distinct houses. |   Some kind of shipping antenaes |   Someone put a collection of exercise equipment on the side of the road here, as something like modern art... | The Fremont Fair - always a favorite! We went with Steve and Ilana and the babies. This booth was selling the coolest converted kitchen utensils/hats. |   Marina likes to feel the beard! |   This guy was eating mealworms for money - $1. |   A plant shop on the way - very interesting carnivorous plants | A demonstration of fire making with a bow drill |   A protest of some sort...couldn't quite figure it out. | A trip to Orcas Island - the ferry terminal area in Anacortes |   In Eastsound, Orcas Island. These are typical of the types of shops there |   Only in the San Juans! | Crossing over to Indian Island, right off Eastsound - it's only accessible at low tide, and even then you're likely to get your feet wet. |   In the island history museum |   Some new cottage style houses were being built close to Eastsound. Seemed pretty expensive for what you were getting - starting at 229K. |   Stopped at a viewpoint on the way up to Mt. Constitution - there were more dragonflies than I've ever seen anywhere. Hard to get a picture of them. | Awesome views from the top of Mt. Constitution. This is Mt Baker. |   To the left is Cypress Island. | On top of the lookout tower. |   This full grown dog was being carried around. It weight only 2.5 lbs. | Around Eastsound. |   The owner of the bed and breakfast we stayed at, the Double Mountain Bed and Breakfast... |   ...which had the most amazing views! |   Right next door is a very interesting art gallery, that makes wind-driven art. Fascinating stuff. |     This one was 24,5000 dollars. | Leaving Orcas. We checked just to see how long the wait was for the next ferry, thinking we wouldn't have a problem coming along in an hour or so, and ended up barely making it. |   These pygmy goats were very interested in eating blackberry shoots | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
