May 27 we camped on an island in Puget Sound, Washington and took the ferry to Seattle. We had lunch and visited the famous Pike Street market and Fish Market. (Photo)
Then, we spent Memorial Day weekend (still raining) with Vicki's kids Chad and Michelle at their beautiful home on San Juan Island. We toured the island, visited the farmers market, had great food and conversation, and met the dog Baxter, who loves Christian. Chad and Michelle live in a home with a deck and glass wall overlooking the sea channel and Vancouver Island. It is a great place to live. (Photo)
From SJI, we headed north, entering Canada and picking up Rt. 1, heading north up the Cassiar Highway. Our first stop was at Hell's Gate, a narrow gorge where the same amount of water as at Niagara Falls passes through each day. Took the tramway and walked on the suspension bridge.
Our next destination was Hyder, Alaska and Stewart, BC. We got there before the bears and salmon, so it was very quiet. Hyder has about 50 people who live there. We visited both towns and saw the beautiful blue glaciers there.
Finally, we headed north on the Cassiar Highway. Stopped in a village to see the totem poles carved by the local tribe. Beautiful scenery along the way, as well as two foxes and four bears. Took lots of photos of the bears, of course! Check the next entry......enjoy!
La premiere photo est la vue que nos amis ont depuis leur balcon. Ils vivent sur l'ile de Saint Juan au large de Seattle. La deuxieme photo represente des totems au centre d'un village indien en Colombie Britannique. La troisieme photo a ete prise au marche au poisson a Seattle. En cours de route nous avons rencontre nos premiers ours mais nous sommes restes a l'interieur du vehicule. Ils sont tres beaux a voir mais attention..
