wow!! visiting the orcas islands (off the coast of seattle) i saw more animals than you can shake a stick at! and ate my way through the pnw. i don't even know where to begin. since i love animals as much as food i shall start with the creatures! i saw the following and prob some more i can't remember:
+ orca whales (one that blow hole'd me and my crew) so close to the boat i could have touched him
+ a beautiful blue heron
+ bald eagle
+ beautiful horses (we went ridin')
+ star fish
+ GIANT salmon (r.i.p after "onyx" the whale had his mid afternoon snack)
+ crazy (poisonous looking) spiders
+ marments (not sure what these are really called but while i was kayaking i saw a cute furry... something snatch a crab right out of the water and run for it )
+ deer
i'm sure i am forgetting something! but what i didn't forget was breakfast at beth's cafe 7311 aurora ave seattle, wa 98103 206.782.5588 in the city before we left for the island. this joint was on food network as they have a 12 egg omelette and eating competition. unfortunately we only ordered a 6 egg'er at our table but m was too pansy to finish :( alex on the other hand has been dubbed clean plate alex and i am super impressed with his skills at licking a plate clean! this breakfast was no joke! equally as impressive was steelhead diner 95 pine st seattle, wa 98101 206.625.0129 this place was a recco of the front desk chick and was stellar. we sat outside on a balcony with perfect weather and perfect food! i had an amazing cobb salad, we also shared fried chicken spring rolls! although fried- wrapped in healthy thin rice paper and topped with pickled amazingness. this place had drool worthy food all over the place. m had fish tacos and i ate about half of them. ME- ate fish tacos! catfish to be precise. also had some local chowder that we shared which was fresh and deelish!
what else can i tell you? i took my first ferry (complete with the rental car and all!) i love new adventures and new modes of transportation that i have never taken. we stayed in the most beautiful inn: outlook inn 171 main st eastsound, wa 98245 360.376.2200 take a gander at my morning wake-up view from the bed! the new leaf cafe in the hotel (right in front with a porch and water view) has amazing breakfast as well. do yourself a favor and try the french toast. this island was so amazing and stuck in a time warp. no sirens, no rushing, no pollution. everyone has just the necessities and lives like they are CHiLlin' 24/7 (because they are). pictures can't describe the beauty and the fun i had with the gang! amazing trip! thanks m!!!!!!
