Bob and Mary Ann took us sightseeing today and to try to pick up some driftwood for carving. Our first stop was Trader Joe’s for some 2 buck Chuck (which is $3 buck Chuck here). We found a few pieces of driftwood along the shore of Puget Sound but most of it was too wet so going to look when we get to the coast. We stopped for lunch in the small town of Alyn, at Leonard’s Restaurant, and had fish and chips. Across the street was a chainsaw carving shop so went there to browse after eating. They had some terrific stuff and offer classes about every week, with a limit of 3 students. Too bad we don’t live closer as it would be fun to learn. I’ve wanted to chainsaw carve for a long time but think I can find a teacher closer to home. We stopped by a new links golf course that looked like fun to play and also one of the city parks with huge flower gardens. Now we don’t have to feel bad about not going to Butchart Gardens in Victoria. Tonight we had pizza at a local spot that is very popular.
