What a wonderful day!!  Up at 8:00-for my b-day present wanted pictures down loaded-ask Armand to pick some for blog–so impressed w/his captions.  Biked to golf course-stop to take off some clothes–warmest day so far.  Armand checks ferry schedule–leaves at either 12:05 or 12:25–it’s 9:30.  I want to play golf for my b-day-this was also the place where I almost aborted our trip over a missing clip.  $120 later have clubs, tees, & 12 golf balls (were 12 for $10) & pull carts–our bike shoes are also golf shoes.  1st ball he hits is in the rd–I don’t do much better.  Leader loses 2 more balls on hole #2–at this rate we will be out of balls before we finish 9 holes.  No one on course–just like we had the lake to ourselves yesterday in canoe–did a little better-especially my drive on the LAST hole.  Too bad we can’t play again-time to bike to ferry.  Much easier now-have time to buy 2 L-fat chocolate milks, chicken enchiladas (warm up in store microwave) & chocolate chip cookie for my b-day.  Another nice ferry ride.  Planning to bike 35 m around island & leave-ask couple we meet if they are staying on LOPEZ.  They tell us Lopez Lodge-5 m later we see it-Armand checks vacancy & price-1 room left-$80-we take it.  Nicest room so far-upstairs-w/balcony-view of lake–b-day is getting better.  Suppose to be 35 m ride around island & it’s suppose to be the “flattest”–nothing is FLAT in San Juan.  Stop at Shark Reef Shore–little girl is all excited to tell us she saw a hundred sea lions. Hike (bike shoes are also hiking shoes)-1/4 m on tree shaded, dirt path to sea-sit on rock & watch sea lions basking on rocks in the sun. When we finally leave I realize I/M TIRED & DON’T WANT TO BIKE ANYMORE. Leader says I will have to bike back to motel–OK-long downhill–I race by leader at 39 mph–that was FUN without the curves. Get cleaned up-dinner at café next to lodge. Sun is still shinning on lake. This is the most laid back of the islands. A perfect day with my perfect partner.
