Port Townsend and Victoria

Last Thursday we headed out in our MoHo (with D&R in their MoHo) to Port Townsend. It's located on the northeast coast of the Olympic Peninsula. We stayed in an RV park right on the water. Great views of the water, mountains, and all sizes and shapes of ocean vessels going by in all directions.

On Saturday morning we got up early (5am) and Roger drove us to Port Angeles to catch the ferry to Victoria. Denise and I had been there on two different occasions but the guys had not, so we showed them around the city. It was a beautiful sunny day and we walked all around the harbor area, ate lunch, did some shopping, and Chuck and I toured the museum and had our pictures taken outside. You may be able to spot us in the crowd.

D&R purchased a neat windsock-type thingy at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque a few years ago and the wind was just the right speed to blow it into its circle and spin it around. Roger attached it to a long pole and strapped the pole to the moho. Really fun to watch it blow around.

There is a wooden boat foundation in Port Townsend and on Sunday there were volunteers out working on restoring an old one. There are several other wooden boat builders in the town and we got to see some beautiful (and expensive!) boats.

We spotted some unusual clouds on Friday afternoon -- looked like rainbow clouds -- all the colors were there -- but they were in the clouds, not in the familiar rainbow-shape. We had never seen such clouds before; I'll have to Google it.

We saw Mount Baker in the distance covered with snow or glaciers, stunning sunrises and sunsets too. Photos just don't do it justice.

Now you get to figure out which photos go with which paragraphs in this blog. I guess I haven't figured out how to post the pics in order -- have fun!
