september 15, 2012 fort flagler

camping late in the season is so pleasant. mid-september is still tank top weather (at least for me), and the campground was less than half full. did some geocaching, hit up the port townsend farmer's market, and hiked all over.

july 15, 2012 breakfast

breakfast at the blue moose cafe in port townsend is the special of the day, a 'summer is here' scramble of eggs, chicken sausage, zucchini, yellow and red bell pepper, tomato and onion, with a side of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, purple grapes and bananas. 

july 14, 2012 lunch

on the way to our campsite, we stopped at the port townsend farmer's market. a more idyllic market i can't imagine, with sunny admiralty inlet as a backdrop, the blue crows playing, and colorful produce that would make a crayon cry!

oysters on the grill for lunch with just a squeeze of lemon, plus a salad of greens from the market: beet and mizuna, drizzled with a little olive oil, lemon juice and pepper. perfection.

..and a few rainier cherries to round the whole thing out.

properly satiated, we set off to explore fort worden. it had been thunderstorming earlier, but it ended up being a beautiful day. good for a barefoot walk on the beach out to the point wilson lighthouse.

there are a ton of old abandoned bunkers to explore in the park.
