went to the Admiralty Lighthouse and the to tour remains of Fort Casey. Large concrete fortificTions to protect Puget Sound from the Japanese. All the 10 inch guns were recycled and destroyed after the awr. Then two were founf in the Philapeneee Islands. They had been used to defend Manila. They were dismanteled and brought here. They are the only "disappearing " guns left.
Then we went to Coupe Ville to see the some of the hundreds of victorian buildings. We met a shop owner named Debbie. She came into Cmor to talk to us. She has a coffee group similar to the Peets group. Except she was the only woman. Six of the older men had passed away. As we talked about how our groups were such an important part of our lives and what a great waynit was to start the day, she told us about a elderly gentleman that had passed away. By the time she finished her story, all of us were crying, even Don. We ended up hugging each other. It was hard to leave her.
now a note to Ed from Donna. Start saving those tea bags, she is running low on her supply. Next got onto ferry, much smaller one and landed at Port Townsend. Drove all around town . Interesting trivia, trucks and cars will park in middle od street to make deliveries. You just carefully drive around them. Cmor did a good job. we are now in Port Angeles for the evening and as a bunny I know said "That's all Folks"" Good night from Jr and his people
