Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington: What a difference a day makes. We woke to a heavy fog, or what the weather girl refers to as a "marine layer".


We were up and out the door before 9 o'clock, continuing north on I-5 to Anacortes, where we caught a ferry to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island - right between Washington and Vancouver Island, Canada.


We found many of our friends onboard the ferry - everyone is going to Katie & Greg's wedding! (As a little side-note: Michael was working with DT in Manila, Philippines when The Lovely Lisa was born 30 years ago. We have known him a long time!)




Tonight the Groom's family hosted a crab feed on the beach. How fun does that sound?! They served pounds and pounds of crab (and tri-tip) to over a hundred guests. Salads and bread were also offered. After everyone finished dinner, several bonfires were lit and fixing's for S'mores were set out. Local musicians played guitars and sang around the campfire. The party was held at picturesque Snug Harbor (even the name is idyllic) and there was a full moon. Simply a beautiful evening.

I snapped this photo of the Bride & Groom with my phone to send to The Lovely Lisa (who is indisposed and unable to attend the wedding). Later, I learned we were so close to Canada, that my phone was on International Roaming and it may have been a very expensive email! Oh, well - Lisa wanted to know what was going on.


And here is a photo of Mary & Steve's #3 with Kathy & Woody's #3 - friends since birth. So many old friends in attendance tonight - and even more at the wedding tomorrow! Stay tuned.

We miss him SO MUCH!
You didn't think I was going to let you get away without a photo of Our Precious Leo, did you?
Until my next update (from the wedding), I remain, your island correspondent.
