-Monday July 2nd Afternoon-
Because the sun sets so late at this time of year that after checking in we even had time to go out, do a load of clothes, explore the touristy part of the town of Friday Harbor and pick up some stuff at the grocery store for snacks & a meal or two. After all that there was still time left to explore the island a bit, thinking of where we might go when we had more time on Tuesday.
While the hoi polloi and day trippers gravitate towards Friday Harbor, all the way on the north side of San Juan Island is Roche Harbor, a resort and it (from my limited observation) attracts the more tony crowd. We had dinner at a cafe out on the pier there and they didn’t turn us away.
As a bonus, while Donna and I were on our west coast road trip, so were the Red Sox allowing me to listen to the ballgame on the internet at the seeming normal time of 7:00PM. If you could call it a bonus, they lost 4 of the 6 games they played against Seattle and Oakland.
