Here is Rebecca and her new bike. It is a Redline cyclocross bike, and she really likes it. We put a lot of miles in (I really came to appreciate the luxury of a car after having to hop on the bike to do every simple errand), and she felt comfortable for the whole weekend.
Here is an artsy picture of boats in the harbor across from the Galley restaurant where we had breakfast every morning. It is a great restaurant, I highly recommend their eggs. They must have been fresh eggs from a local farmer because they were super light and fluffy.
Here are more boats.
Luckily the camp was pretty close to the ferry terminal, so we didn't have to ride too far with all the camping gear. Rebecca rode with panniers on her back rack, and I carried my stuff on a BOB trailer (I forgot take a picture of our bikes fully loaded). I borrowed the trailer from a friend (thanks Chris!) and it worked out great. The campsite was also close to Lopez village, which is where most of the stores are. And this church...
There was a Farmers Market in the village on Saturday morning and Rebecca was able to buy all the ingredients to a great dinner that evening. I which I would have taken a picture of the community building at the campsite where they had very nice bathrooms with showers. The showers were amazing, they had huge open air skylights above them (it would have been cold in the winter, and two shower heads so you were never cold on one side of your body. And there were several picnic tables under the roof, and a nice fireplace. The building was really nice on the first evening where there was a rain shower.
Eventually we had to come back to Seattle, and here is a picture of the ferry arriving to take us home.
And here is Rebecca and I waiting for the ferry to arrive. It was a very relaxing anf fun trip. It is tough to come back to busy Seattle. It would be great to move to Lopez and enjoy the simple, slow life.
