Riding around the island in the “Scoot-Coupe”
Top 5 of the day:
1. Renting the most awesome little tiny car and driving around San Juan Island. I felt like I was driving a fisher price toy around town. We did a loop around the island and saw the sights which too about eight hours total. What a great trip!
2. Having a cheese picnic at beach spots along our coastal ride, reading boks in the grass and watching for whales off shore. Interesting how you’ll see one or two whale watching boats milling around one spot at first, then you can spot the whales they’re watching, and in the course of about ten minutes two dozen more whale watching boats have circled the wagons. They whale watching tour boats clearly have some constant communication going on.
3. The beautiful weather and restaurant for lunch at the marina restaurant on the north side of the island. We had a lovely spot on their patio in the sun, and ordered some of the most delicious fish tacos I’ve ever had.
4. paying a visit to Mona the Camel. This is the islands’s resident camel, and will happily trot over and give you a camel-kiss in exchange for an apple.
5. Finally having a respectable campfire at our campsite.
