... ul>Mark and I went to Fort Flagler for July 4th weekend. It was packed with people from all over. One of our favorite things is to ride our bikes and look at all of the license plates on the vehicles and campers. We like to see how many are from out of state.<br><br>We really enjoyed Fort Flagler. It offers great trails for riding bikes (you share with the hikers). It was a lot of fun exploring the old ...

Wednesday we drove north to Everett to visit the Boeing. We took a tour of the 472 million cubic foot plant. Well, not exactly... we saw two sections of it. It's amazing to see how many planes are inside and how the process all comes together. We saw the new 787 Dreamliners being assembled. And we saw the Dream Lifter - a modified aircraft that can ...

... great vistas along cliffs. This weekend is the Oyster Run with 100s of bikes entertaining the local populace. <br>Mt Baker and neighbors spring up with snow-covered summits from time to time. The temp hovers from 68 - 74F in these lowlands. <br>Would not be hard to spend a week here, with orca and bird watching and the mountain roads.<br>

Einer von den Kipphebeln die die Ventile steuern ist einfach durchgebrochen. Morgen früh kommt wahrscheinlich ein Mechaniker der sich die ganze Sache mal mit Niko zusammen angucken will. Dann werden wir entscheiden was wir machen. <br>Den Autoproblemen zum trotz haben wir heute einen guten Tag gehabt. Wir waren auf dem ...

... until he died. Many of our readers will remember him as a gentle and kind man who was dedicated to increasing Friends Committee on National Legislation's lobbying on environmental legislative issues. It was great spending time with his daughter and getting to know her and Clint in the way only living with people for a couple of days can bring. An example of the generosity of those we meet was when, at the table, we were talking of the need for a small tripod for our ...

... to Taiwan to visit his ailing mother-in-law whom had recently suffered a stroke. Despite the tragic circumstances of our meeting we made fast friends. In the manner of true bookish people he was easy going and also easy to laugh at whatever inane comment I might have. Though he rarely asked any questions of myself he was pleased enough to answer questions and keep conversation while we waited in que. Once we were in the air my horde of ...

... that learning a word or two in another language can make a huge difference. I've learned that I prefer train to bus and really spicy food is delicious. I've learned that Jessie is a natural on the surfboard and with little Indian children and that she possesses a unique ability to engage with people with whom she might not share a common language. Her insights on women's issues and the questions of justice and freedom are invaluable. She accepts differences in ...

... place to call home for a few days. It is right at the end of the street in the city and looks like a small spit of land. In addition to the Marina, spit of land and RV park there are a number of wonderful restaurants not only in the city area but on the spit as well. I went to one called Otter Crossing and had a veggie with crème cheese sandwich which was perfectly filling. I enjoyed the feeling of the place so much I took a picture ...
