The 4 AM wakeup call was pretty early, but since we had packed everything but essentials for the morning, we were able to be ready to walk to the Ferry at 0450. After immigration and customs, the ferry left at 0610 headed to Port Angeles. We had a cup of coffee and a pretty horrible egg mcferry sandwich before landing about 7:30 PM.
After informing Ken that we would be apart from the group today, and being certain that Linda had backup, we left to do some visiting. First off, we went to visit Elaine's distant cousin, Paul J age 87 who lives in Port Angeles. He is the son of dad's Aunt Blanche and the brother of Don J. He lived in an adorable place on the high bank water with views for ever. He remains healthy, active and spends his time with photography and reading. It has been at least 35 years since Elaine saw Paul when he lived in Pasadena.

After our visit with Paul, we headed on to Sequim where we visited with Philip's highschool friend, Pete, his wife Eileen, and Pete's parents, Olive and George- who were like parents to Philip. Pete and Eileen spent the last 10 years circum navigating the world in their sail boat. Now they are back at work teaching in Arcadia/Pasadena. It was WONDERFUL to see them again.

As these visits took up our morning and early afternoon, we had to hustle down the road to make it to Warrenton, just in time for dinner at the local fish restaurant. Another wonderful day.
