Up early yesterday. Totally slep in today. My plan was to wait until Carey got up, and I guess this was his plan as well. So, it was a slow morning, but we did eventually push off. We started off by going through the small Lopez Village to pick up some lunch and see about some pastries for breakfast. No luckh with the pastries as the lone bakery int own is closed on Tuesday. But, we did get some lunch at the grocery store and headed south to Shark Reef Park.
This was a pretty cool place to visit. We had just missed the Orca pos some other travelers had told us, but we were treated with some sea lions and a beautiful landscape to eat our lunch at. One nice thing with this trip compared to crossing the country is how many breaks we take. Last summer it was up early, bike all day, eat, to bed early. We had one goal in mind, to make it across. With this trip the goal is to bike, but also to enjoy these beautiful islands and all they have to offer. After a lengthy time at Shark Reef we headed north to Otis Perkins Park. Once again ditching our bike shoes so we could walk along the nice warm sand. This was followed by a trip to the Fishermans Reef Memorial and spit. This wasn't marked on the map, but we came across it. It actually turns out that the two places I've liked the most haven't been on the map. Funny how that works.
Tomorrow we are headed to our third island, probably Orcas. We are in for a rude awakening as it is supposed to have a lot more hills than the nice Shaw and Lopez island we have been blessed with.
