Road Trip!

We catch a cruise boat to an island 8 miles out in Puget Sound. The reason I want to see this place is because it is the resting place of Chief Seattle, who believed in peaceful relations between red and white man. We are greeted by the natives with steaming hot bowls of clams in broth and instructed to throw the clam shells on the path. Being so cold out on the water, we love this heartwarming welcome! Almost everybody else opts for a salmon dinner and dance show at that point, but Jon and I take off on a "little hike" around the island, and somehow found ourselves going around in (large) circles ("hey, haven't we seen that clump of trees before?") so we got in 2 hours of walking. When we were almost back to the lodge, Jon saw another sign for a "nature walk" but I had other nature calling so we diverged. I got to see a wonderful Indian garden with cool artifacts behind the village and Jon barely made it back to the boat in time when the horn sounded.
