Woke to another blustery day. The lady at the front desk encouraged us to stay another day, but we decided to press on to Port Townsend. First stop though was the Wal-Mart. I bought a $14 pair of shoes to replace both my other pairs. The $14 shoes did just great. The day was a short one, with more hills and cold wind. But we made it to the ferry and took the 30 minute ride to Port Townsend. I was glad to leave ferries behind, they mostly sapped the day because you have to ride to their schedule. There is even an organic supermarket with a `tude!
Port Townsend was spectacular. Town motto: "We're all here because we're not all there." Think of Ocean Beach with no pressure to gentrify cause you can only get anywhere useful by ferry. We stayed at St. Paul's Church in the office of the Priest in Charge, Joan Anthony who is a classmate of ours.
My new friend Nigel Tabor-Hamilton took the ferry over to have dinner with us and we ate at a splendid Thai restaurant. I pondered how, if PT could have good Asian food, SD couldn't? We chatted for awhile and Nigel headed back.
The community choir was practicing in the room where our bikes were parked and so at the end of the rehearsal we went in to get stuff for sleeping and discovered...... more recumbent cyclists!!!! We're everywhere.
