San Juan Islands, Washington Aug 9 & 10

Yes, we are still at Deception Pass which is in the San Juan Islands. Deception Pass is in Whidbey which is the longest island in the continental U.S. Having been here 3 days, we have explored the area pretty thoroughly. We loved it! We went into a little waterfront town called Coupeville. A charming little village with beautiful storefronts and old buildings. It was raining and we were looking for a coffee place and George found a little lunch cafe whose owners were Mom, Dad and daughter. Dad baked all the pies and were they ever delicious. The first time I ever saw George eat pie in the middle of the afternoon. What is the world coming to? We got into a conversation with the owners and found out that they were from Akron, Ohio and went to Kent State University. And as if that's not enough, their last name is Kline. What a small world! Today we took the whale watching cruise and viewed all of the other islands. It was beautiful! We saw whales many times. They may have been the same ones but what a show they put on! We then went to a little hovel of a restaurant that the Klines referred us to. They said they had the best seafood in the area and were they ever right! We loved every minute we were here. A delightful time was had by all. Love you
