We might be going to Seattle today!!!
he claims that he isnt going to go ona kayak tour.. that he doesnt need to go on one..
but who knows.. i have a right to be skeptical, yes?

The barista job doesnt come again til Thursday :(
I had a lot of fun bustling around on Friday with it.. learning the machine some more.. people kept piling in.. the 2nd lady left.. the fridge got swapped so we had to scurry between getting things out of the fridge before he got the new fridge in, taking orders, running orders, getting out of the refidgerator mans way, making smoothies/coffees...
then is slowed
and the other shift girl came in
and i had to leave
:(
9-12:30.. time of bliss.. forgetting the bad.. concentrating on doing.. connecting with those out there.. tending to them.,, making and tasting exquisite coffees... frozen caramel latte.. hazelnut mocha.. blended frozen chai.. blended mint chocolate mocha.. and i got to taste all of those (either leftovers from the batch or they were made for people behind the counter..

next was the whale museum where i met him.. he was studying up on orcas and minke whales and other creatures that frequented this area.. so he could prove his knowledge.. library we went to later where we both examined books on tidepooling (LOVE DOING THAT!!!)) and other sea creatures....
I am proud of him
Yesterday he did 2.. one at 10.. one at 6

While the 10 oclock one was going on, i drove down to Lime Kiln Park.. which is the only state park dedicated to whale watching.. or the premier spot for whale watching from shore..
anyway.. i attempted the state park before.. which was just camping and kayak launching.. the only small beach they had was shut down and closed off due to a elephant seal taking over the shore while it participated in its yearly molting process...
I think thats what I read.. .
Lime Kiln.. its right on the Haro Straight which the Orcas use to frolic and consider as their home.. theres a lighthouse (theres a board there telling the last sighting of whales in the area) if you walk one direction and Dead Mans Cove if you walk the other.. I walked out past the lighthouse out to the Lime Kiln fields/mining area.. went out past the state park boundaries.. pretty pretty breathtaking views when the trees let up.. and then realized i had no idea where I was nor where the trail was taking me.. so i turned and went back..
You see, i am not a hiker nor a walker
I am an explorer..
i am curious..
and i pause for the picturesque views and sights even though my camera still is dead to the world
DEFINITELY stop by if you have a chance to go to San Juan Island.. it is CERTAINLY worth the trip.. even if you do not see whales.
douglas firs, madronas, snowberries, foxes

At the library i rented Deer Hunter... wow.. that is one movie i will most certainly not forget..
my dad told me to get it.. as did my mom.. so i did... its a little slow starting.. but wow does it pack a punch
Also, i have the controversial Midnight Cowboy.. which should be interesting..
when you have nothing else going in your life, why not brush up on some oldies but goodies? some documentaries?

i investigate..
