Reasons 1525 - 1650

On Friday, October 12, we took off from Port Townsend and rode south along State Route 104 all the way to Bremerton. We took the ferry from there to downtown Seattle. We were pretty stoked to find that it’s the ferry ride from Seattle to Bremerton that costs and the reverse which we took was free. So, thus far we have paid a total of $3.50 for six separate ferry rides. Nice.

The downtown Seattle ferry terminal is only a couple blocks from the famous Pike Place market. And, for those of you who have never been, there are intense steep hills filled with old skyscrapers with lovely intricate carvings and interesting architecture. The first couple blocks with our bikes was the first time we had to walk our bikes up a hill. Disappointing, but necessary.

From there we navigated our way through and out of downtown Seattle, through surrounding neighbourhoods around to the southern tip of Lake Washington, and finally to Renton. This is where my good friend, Natasha has been living for several years. We stayed with her through the weekend and had incredibly fantastic eats, laughs, adventures and good times.

Overall, so many good times we couldn't actually count them all. It was so great to spend quality time with an old friend. We are very appreciative for Natasha showing us such a great time. Yay.
