A day trip

We are headed out to San Juan Island for the day to visit our friends Martha and Reyes. It’s rainy here today but a nice warm summer rain. We thought about hiking up part of Mt. Blanchard today but think we are going to drink cappuccinos at La Crema instead. It is really nice to have the day off–maybe I’ll have some time to read. I finished the second of Patrick O’Brian’s sea novels and I’m ready to start the third. These books are a life-time commitment as there are nearly 30 in the series! My problem is I try to read to many books at once. Currently, I am working on twelve. I get impatient and bored easily I guess.
