Yesterday we found our friends Linda and Michael waiting for us on the balcony of the hotel.
Linda had been a close friend and neighbor in California over thirty years ago. Michael, strictly speaking, wasn't our friend (yet), as we were meeting him for the first time. As it is with old friends, we picked up with the conversation where we had left it ten years earlier. Hard to believe it had been ten years ago, because Linda has changed very little! Spent the evening on the balcony with wine and cheese and terrific company.
Our hotel was located in Fairhaven, the historic section of Bellingham, WA. Settled in the 1850s, it had been wild, with saloons, bordellos, opium dens, shootouts, and crooked law enforcement. These days, however, this friendly community lures people in with restaurants, shops, and galleries.
No car for us today. It was all shopping, eating, and napping.
Bob and Michael took advantage of the nearby trail to explore the harbor.
We really enjoyed getting to know Michael.
Note to Linda: We think he's a keeper!
