9/9 (MONDAY) LOPEZ ISLAND, SAN JUAN TO OAK HARBOR, WA 28 M 1 FERRY

Got up at 8:00, cool & foggy.  Watch Leave It To Beaver & Daniel Boone while getting ready-watched Columbo last night.  Bike to ferry-5 m-there 1 hr early-could have watched Perry Mason–my all time favorite show growing up.  Armand wants to wait till Anacortes for bkft–order hot chocolate & big muffin–don’t want to share so he decides to eat know too.  Foggy on ferry so take nap–benches are like little beds.  Bike to Anacortes-on to Deception Pass again–long uphills but at least going 5 mph.  Decide to walk across bridge this time-leader wanted to ride side by side slowing down traffic-didn’t want to get run over by 18 wheeler.  Stop at fruit stand w/big elephant statue–animal reminds Armand of ME!!!  Pick up peach–see ice cream cones-look better & was delicious–put peach on bike.  Back at Acorn Motor Inn in same room-$74.  Get my NAILS done while Armand does the wash.  Lynn & Jean are here–they have a 2 bedroom w/kitchen & living room for $69–unbelievable how nice it is.  Jean is another of the cross country 2002 bikers.  Her claim to fame is that she has biked in 46 states & covered over 100,000 miles touring.  She started at 36 & is now 63.  We tagged along last yr on her European trip & 2 yrs ago on her St. Louis-Minite, ND, Minneapolis-Madison-St. Louis trip.  Both Jean & Lynn have nice short hair cuts-go across street & get all my hair cut off.  Eat at Thai Restaurant beside hair place.  They’re leaving around 6:30 AM–we will NOT.  Suppose to meet Armand’s brother tomorrow night.
