We got up this morning and took a stroll around the nearby Unversity Village, which was a well occupied shopping centre. The attraction for some retail therapy was required but again well managed.
The last remaining family group met for a final coffee and bid our farewells, knowing that there was a commitment to our renewed friendship would be subscribed wholeheartedly to.
An emotional drive away, realising that we were starting our final leg of the trip towards Vancouver.
But not before a stay at Anacortes and a Whale watching trip tomorrow.
The drive took us (as recommended) through Skagit county and the scenery once again changed. we observed migrant farm workers harvesting potatoes and squashes. The clouds began to disappear and as we drove into Anacortes, there was hardly a cloud in the sky.
We're now staying at the Majestic Inn & spa, where the Manager greeted me with a smile and an apology for not having his Harveys, Lewes rugby shirt on... I was fortunate in having mine on, and we hit it off straight away. He had fond memories of his trips to England, and even knew about my home town, Westbury...
"where the white horse and the big chimney is?"... what were the chances of that happening. He said some of his screensaver pictures are of scenes around the west country in UK.
Well, that was a good start, and already Caroline has booked herself in for a sweedish massage before we leave on Thursday.
We're taking a rest now, but will report back with a few photos later.
