A great day in San JuanA great day in San Juan
I found out the full name of this place is “San Juan de Furca.” Moving on. We had a great day yesterday. The ferry ride was beautiful and San Juan is a fabulous island. Perflectly small but just large enough. We spent the better part of our afternoon out on the water. We got super close to a whole pod of orcas including my favorite “Toby.” We also got to see cormorans and stellar sea lion as well as two bald eagles – one of which took off and flew right at us. We watched sunset at an old lighthouse and got some dinner before returning “home” to our b and b – a restored Victorian farmhouse from 1895 that sits on a bluff overlooking the sound. Today we traipse around the island and revisit the lavender farm (which has exquisite lavender ice cream) and do a little hiking before we hop the ferry over to orcas island to meet up with Lil’s cousin (ranger Jason). He’s the kind of ranger who protects democracy, not trees, so for once I won’t have to be “the muscle.” 🙂
