Awake: 6:59am Temp 54 Clear sky Overnight @ Chimacum, WA
Casual morning for us….we reminisce our trip to Seattle yesterday & how
nice it was to spend some time with our boys + Katie, and without the city
traffic hassle.
This morning we skip breakfast & have lunch @ the Chimacum Café just down
the street; Kathy a burger, me a fried oyster sandwich. Then we drive
North….1st stopping @ the Northwest Passage (nice name but it’s a thrift,
really, a junk shop) that Kathy gives the thumbs down on after 10 min of
perusing the joint & now we proceed directly to the Fort Worden State Park
again. This time, we spend 1.5 hrs going through the Puget Sound Coast
Artillery Museum. I am fascinated with the 8 inch, 10 inch & 12 inch
disappearing BIG guns & the massive fortification + emplacements that were
once here @ Fort Worden. This museum has the answers: the photos,
diagrams, smaller replicas of the big guns & details of the operations
that finally satisfy my curiosity. It was well worth our time.
Back to Port Townsend we go where I drop Kathy off @ another thrift shoppe
(the real thing) while I visit Radio Shack & order a special cable for our
Sprint phone & tour the Henry Hardware for some special wire. Then we
attend 5:30 mass @ St Mary Star of the Sea. Afterward, it’s pizza & beer @
the Water Front Pizza. It was good, featured a 150 yr old sourdough crust
recipe, but it’s not the Moose’s Tooth. The search continues!
Mid evening: Watch video from the clubhouse library: “Iris.” The brilliant
mind of English writer Iris Murdoch reduced to rubble by Alzheimer disease
is not an easy film to watch.
