Sequim

Today we are in the town of Sequim going to the Farmer's/Artisan's Market. More artisan than farmer. This area is noted for its lavender so Karen bought some lavender tea and herbs. She also purchased a couple of tomatos and some corn. Guess what we're having for dinner tonight? Yumm.

Zac wanted to see how pretty Mom and Dad are so I have uploaded a picture we took of ourselves yesterday while on a bike ride out on the spit that sticks out into the Strait of San Juan de Fuca from the town of Port Angeles. While on the ride we crossed a small stream via an old railroad bridge. Looking down we saw some salmon in the stream. The males were chasing other males away while the female was turning on her side and flipping her tail hard to wash away small particles from around the rocks into which she planned to lay her eggs. Every time she did this the male would swim up next to her hoping she would lay her eggs so he could fertilize them. We got tired of waiting for the final event so we left. A most interesting display.

Our 20 mile bike ride left us very tired. Luckily we had some of Karen's taco salad ready to eat when we got back to the motorhome.
