Distance: 0 miles
Excursions: 5 miles
Trip Total: 3167 miles
Log:
A full day to relax, talk, and enjoy the view of the sea, the sand, and the sun.
We played games on and off throughout the day: Chickenfoot Dominoes, to which our friends Betsy and Kumar had introduced us, and Chez Geek, a card game that Mike had bought at Pike Place Market in Seattle. He had played before and had rather a difficult time explaining the rules to the lot of us, but the game turned out to be quite fun (although some people were vicious cut-throats).
We also wrote a story, one line at a time by each person. The tricky part was that you could only see the previous line, but no other lines that came before. The resulting story had an excellent plot and intriguing characters. Er, actually, no, it didn't, but it was still fun to read.
Some of the group drove into town to play tourists at the shops on the docks. They picked up some fresh fish and smoked salmon for dinner. Yum!
Jenn worked on the aghan she was making for Holly, Steve and Lisa's daughter, in Vancouver, BC. Several folks wrote postcards. Or read. Or slept. The beauty of vacations.
Another night watching the sunset, this time drinking Rob's margaritas. We didn't have a camera for once, though. It would have been fun to capture Jenn's magnificent leap into the Pacific after running -- and then her quick retreat as she realized how damn cold it really was.
