Thanksgiving Holiday

Unable to drive down to California this year, I kept my options open for the Thanksgiving holiday until I woke up in the morning and decided to go to Anacortes. Downtown was quite interesting and you will see a lot of these tributes to the town's history (see photo) in almost every block on main street. I also visited Washington Park and enjoyed how they arranged the park so that you can drive in and park in the woods and be within walking distance from the water.

After starting at Anacortes, I drove to the Deception Pass bridge (and the park nearby). I went further south into Oak Park, then Coupeville, and finally to Clinton to get onboard the Mukilteo ferry. While on board I treated myself to Ivar's Clam Chowder (mmmm) :)

I spent a roll of Tri-X trying out a Yashica Electro 35 GSN I got off of Ebay. As soon as I got home I mixed chemicals and developed the roll (along with a couple of other rolls in my drawer).....I had an undeveloped from my test of another rangefinder, a Fujica 35, as well as a 35mm Welta camera.....plus a 120 roll from Thess' Mamiya that we tested when whe came here to visit.

I watched a lot of movies during this time.....several unwatched DVDs and also No Country for Old Men at the nearby theater.
