TRAVELS IN WASHINGTON STATE

Very GREEN up here. Lovely land of trees and water. A book talk party at the home of Dan's distant cousin Robin Downey and husband Peter. About 35 people. Then we tromped across the beaches to explore their geoduck (pronounced GOOEY-Duck) farm; gigantic clams that take 4 to 5 years to grow before harvesting.

In Bellingham we stayed with a kind couple we found on line, through a hosting group called Hospitalityclub.org. Lovely town, small group at Village Books. After that, to a talk in Seattle before a group of film buffs who seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. And time out for an excellent Indian meal.

Stay tuned for more, as we off to explore Seattle - then, tomorrow on to Montana!
