Back to Seattle

Our Wal-Mart parking lot experience
We figured we needed at least one on this trip

The gum wall - that's as close as I was getting

The camera was having a hard time with all of the various dots of color

We met up with one of Jared's old roommates (who is a new resident of Seattle) and went on the Underground Tour.  We were thoroughly entertained and learned all about the shady details of Seattle's beginnings.

An original "Crapper" - for real
Named after  Thomas Crapper

"Come and knock on our door... we've been waiting for you..."

The Seattle Temple

Oh Canada!

We were way out of our league -
our bike and gear looked so measly in comparison.

After going to church with the Weaver's we drove over to Port Angeles and took the ferry north to Victoria, Canada. (my first time crossing the border up north)  We decided it'd be easier and much cheaper to take the motorcycle across than to try and maneuver the motorhome.

Jared really tried to fit in with the local culture

Natural bum lift ... are they referring to exercise?

At the Straight of Juan de Fuca - the mountains of Washington are in the background
Jared may have taken the road bike a little off-road to get this picture

We drove along the coast of Victoria and went to the much-acclaimed (and mucho dinaro) Butchart Gardens.  

And according to Jared... these are just a bunch of the flowers we saw, blah, blah, blah....
