We're both hurting a bit from that today now to.... sore muscles..

We drove through Seattle today and stopped at a surf shop where we bough a board for me and a bag for the board as well as a sock for Joe's board (they didn't have another 9' bag). So that will help protect the boards when they're on the RV's roof.
We are parked at a campground in Grayland Beach State Park and it's pretty much full... seems nuts for a Monday. Hopefully it isn't like this all the way down the shore but I suppose that is possible this time of year.
We are pretty close to the beach, so our plan is to try some surfing this evening.
We'll see how it goes.-Miranda

So today, we got some horse isle work done, then went for a bike ride downtown. Bellingham has an awesome interurban trail system, so we were sort of following that and roads and went way past downtown, then tried to work our way back. Rod and Sara (we're staying in front of their house) were nice enough to give us a map of the city, which ended up coming in handy. We had dinner at a little Russian place that sells two things. They're a type of dumpling. One has meat in it, the other kind has potatoes. Then there's a curry type sauce that goes over them. So that was a good, cheap dinner, then we went to an ice cream place downtown and had some super good ice cream.
We're really liking this work, bike, eat, relax thing.
We biked 15 miles today.-Miranda

Today we went to an outdoor, classical concert which was quite nice. The weather has been beautiful. We decided we wanted to go for swim, so we biked to Lake Padden (steep uphill a good chunk of the way) then biked around the lake (2 miles) and went swimming. Joe decided we needed more exercise, so we swam across the lake and back also. The ride down the hill after swimming was fun though.
We went to the Skylark Cafe for dinner, which was very good. Got to sit outside in a little, pretty alley under a tree. Joe had a butternut squash lasagna which he said was very good. We got big ol' desserts from a nearby place then headed back to the RV. Biked a total of about 8 miles today.

Yesterday we walked to Downtown Bellingham, which is about a mile there. We walked all over, were all excited to have lunch at a bagelry, when it turned out they didn't take credit cards and we had brought my wallet, not Joe's, which only had $7 in it. Ooops. So we ended up going to a french cafe instead, which was very good.
We took the bus to Whatcom Falls Park which was very pretty. We took a short nap on a rock in the creek and when we 'woke up', a minute later three river otters, across the creek from us, were running around a bit. Pretty sure it was a mother and two cubs. The one was a little bigger and pretty much stared at us the whole time. The other two didn't seem to even notice we were there. Unfortunately, Joe couldn't get the camera out fast enough.
After we got back to the RV, we ended up going out to eat at a pizza place with Rod and Sara. It was very good. We went down by the shore to see some old-style boats that came in a couple days ago. Nearby was a very small aquarium. There is a bitty touch pool and I got to help feed some crabs. There was some other neat stuff in a couple tanks and another pool. All in all, a very fun day.
