Leaving the US

...for now. We broke camp in Sequim Bay and headed toward the Port Townsend ferry. A short sail later and we were on one of the islands in Puget Sound. Definitely moving to the islands in Puget Sound, they are great. Stopped for lunch at Deception Pass which was a wonderful idea, very beautiful.  No, Hilary does not have a back problem in this picture- she's looking for rocks to skip unsuccessfully (okay, sometimes successfully) in the surf.

Drove back onto the mainland across a few bridges and through the last bit of Washington. Took the side road across the border since the big magic billboard told us the wait was shorter. After confirming we didn't have any guns, the border patrol told us to have a nice time in Vancouver. It was weird leaving the mountains, islands, and hills of Olympic and Seattle and then driving across the flat floodplains leading to Vancouver. On the plus side, Vancouver is proving to be warmer and drier.

Arrived in Vancouver mid-afternoon. Checked into our one night of hotel (we're spoiling ourselves in the last west coast city destination), and headed across the bridge on foot to dinner at Vij's. Thoroughly stuffed ourselves there and tomorrow we'll visit the local parks.
