More Anacortes and the Area

We're doing a little day trip here. We went to a park, on a hill, that overlooks the marina and downtown area. What a view. Then headed south to the Deception Pass Bridge on Whidbey Island. Here we got lucky and got to see a tug pulling a bunch of logs upstream. Check out the tug on the side of the load keeping the load straight. That's a lot of logs, my friends!!! Then, back downtown to check that area out some more. The murals on the side of the buildings sure add to the character of this cute maritime town. Wow. To end the day we stopped in the Gere-A-Deli restaurant for a Panda Bear chocolate treat (chocolate cake with butter cream topping) and a side of real vanilla ice cream. OMG! Yes, we split. The sandwiches looked fabulous, so the plan is to go back and do that in a day or two!!!! Big thanks to our good friends Ralph and Cheryl for the great recommendations to consider while visiting here. As usual, you are spot on!
