roche harbor

I just realized that I still have some pictures from our San Juan Island trip that I wanted to put up and haven't yet. So let's just do it real quick, like a band-aid.

These are from Roche Harbor, a smaller, quieter spot on the north side of the island. It's a sleepy little area (with great fish and chips!) that almost seems enchanted, as if frozen in time.

This hotel was built in 1886 and is rumored to be a favorite spot of President Teddy Roosevelt's.

On the way back to Friday Harbor to catch our ferry home, we passed an Alpaca farm where we noticed an unusual creature peeking at us from the fence. "Was that a camel?". After a quick debate over whether we had time to go back and say hello, I eventually persuaded Bret to turn around and investigate. She seemed hungry so I offered her what we had, delicious french fries.

the end.

Oh I love Roche Harbor! We used to go there for family vacations when I was little. It was fun to see the pictures- I doesn't look like anything has changed!
