... at Big Bad John’s, look out for me if your ever passing through! The other noticeable thing about this bar is the crunching sound as everyone moves about, this is caused by the peanut shells that are littered about the floor. The bar offers endless supplies of these nuts to each table, and it seems that the floor is only swept on a weekly basis!

We were thrilled when we took a stroll along the harbour side and came across a family of seals ...

After a couple of cups of BLACK coffee, Kathy sent me off with some sandwiches and fruit for my drive to Kelowna via the ferry from Tsawassen to the mainland. After the hour and a half ferry ride, I set out on the 5 hour drive through the Fraser Delta, the Cascade Mountains and then on to the ...

... degree views of the surrounding Olympic mountains. Later, we drove out to Dungeness Wildlife Refuge. We didn't have time (or energy) with the tide coming in to walk out to the end of Dungeness Spit, but the views were fantastic.

We ended our visit in the Sequim area with a day in Port Townsend. Port Townsend is one of only three designated Historic Victorian Ports. We loved this town ...

... was amazingly different than it had been just two days previous. Being in the clouds is pretty, but also eerie and a little lonely feeling. We stopped at Switchback Trail and decided to hike up the mountainside a ways.

Somewhere in the ...

Well I hope everyone is doing well and not being too critical of my poor spelling and grammar in these blogs, if I wasn't so lazy I'd proof read them, but until there is a better than average chance of Lonely Planet giving me a job as a travel writer then I'm just gonna do my blogs "o'natural".... Lots of love to you all.... Cam

So, there exist an "Old Seattle" below the current ground floor of present day Seattle. It's inhabited by millions of rats, demi-humans, and teenage mutant ninja turtles. The underground was actually very interesting to see. Guiding us through the catacombs was a man who resembled, both in appearance and comedic personality ...

We went to the animal fair, the birds and the beasts were there, the elephant sneezed and fell to its knees, and oh well, no elephants at the Olympic Game Farm, but dang nigh everything else. Do you want to buy bread to feed the animals? Well sure. Andrew had the first bite as the llamas lay in wait for the next car. The yaks paid us no never mind, and the bears feigned interest, but wouldn't test the limits of the electric fence.

... pero sin la forma estupidamente pedante de los vecinos del norte. Un ultimo vistazo a Vancouver desde el aire, un solo respiro, hondo, ahora si, you're on your own, 2 semanas de chill out, relajarse, aun ayer comi mole con arroz y pollo deshebrado así que este es el verdadero principio, no puedo quitar la sonrisa de la cara ni dejar de sentirme absolutamente feliz.

... The plan is to head to Antigua, an old Spanish colonial town in the highlands of Guatemala for a couple of weeks of relaxation, spanish classes, and sightseeing, and then...who knows! Until the next post, Jennie PS - I apologize to everyone who hasn't heard from me in forever, I'll try and get personal emails out but I have no idea how often I'll be accessing internet. PPS - Send me an addy (the old fashioned kind) if anyone would like a postcard :)
