Yelp came through again! “Glo's” was awesome. I had french toast stuffed with blackberry jelly and cream cheese and Angela had the “Glo's Scramble” which consisted of scrambled eggs and tomatoes and green onions topped with sour cream and guacamole. Both of our meals were exceptional, and we had the benefit of a nice walk back to the hotel to start working off some of the calories.
We decided today to visit Bainbridge Island, one of the small islands in Puget Sound. Unfortunately, we picked a bad day to go, since the main street was completely torn up with construction. It was loud and dusty and completely ruined any charm or ambiance this town might have offered. Had we had a car on the island, we could have explored some of the parks and other parts of the island, but we were on foot and forced to contend with the disruption.
Not all was lost, however, since we enjoyed a nice wine tasting at the retail store of one of the local wineries and some very good gourmet ice cream at Mora's. We also had a lovely dinner at the Harbor Public House. It had a beautiful view of the little harbor area of Winslow. I had a grilled salmon sandwich while Angela had an asian inspired dish with salmon and rice. Her meal was far and away better than mine since I think I got a little “shorted” on the size of the filet in my sandwich. We had a home made apple-blackberry crisp for dessert that was very good with the exception of the julienned apple skin slices.
Oh, we saw a real live crack whore tonight waiting for the bus after getting off the ferry. At least that's what the bum in the wheelchair called her when she walked past. Seattle and Vancouver are very similar; but Vancouver's homeless population seems much less threatening than Seattle's.
