For quite some time I’ve been meaning to go up to Edmonds and catch the ferry over to Kingston; today’s heat finally inspired me to do so. When it’s hot out there are few places nicer to be than on a ferry crossing the Puget Sound. Puget Sound’s water is always beautiful and cool. The “Gateway to the Olympics” is lush and verdant. A mama seagull made a nice little home for her babies on a beam at the Kingston ferry terminal. You can look across the Sound and see Seattle. D

We went to the beach today, just like Pedro . The only difference is that he was near Lisbon and we were near Seattle. A little far away from each other geographically, but only a few posts apart here in this blog. Many people think Seattle is on the Pacific Coast, but it lies on the Puget Sound , a very large salt water estuary of the Pacific.
