Aboard the Ferry to Bainbridge Island, in the Puget Sound http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/ There is a huge ferry transit system that can take you to many islands around the area, and even to Victoria and Vancouver, in British Columbia, Canada.

Jaime and I try to head up to Seattle each Spring, to attend two wonderful festivals happening there. THe first is the Northwest Folklife Festival, a huge festival of music and dance from around the world http://www.nwfolklife.org/ The second, is the Seattle International Film Festival http://www.siff.net Since we can't afford to tour the world, it is a way to take the tour in our imagination, supplemented with Seattle's wonderful mix of ethnic restaurants!

Normally Seattle is known for cloudy and rainy weather. But on this trip, the weather was incredibly beautiful, and it was the first time in 30 years that the four days of the folklife festival were all sunny! We enjoyed it, but couldn't help think that it might be the result of global climate change, and what effect it might have on the incredible Olympic Peninsula Rainforests
