Back to the 'ham
It was time to go to Bellingham again, to dance with my friend Jordan and look for some birch. I couldn't get a train out of Interbay -- the yard was almost empty. So I rode back downtown and caught the 3:30 PM bus from downtown. On the way there I saw some dalmatian toadflax (Linaria dalmatica) growing near the yard:
I was in Bellingham at 7 pm, and only five dollars poorer. On the way I swung through Mount Vernon, located above the delta of the Skagit River. The picture on the left is looking across the river at downtown. All the people I saw on the street were latino. Many mexicans come here to work on the farms of Skagit Valley. The main sign on the library in town says "biblioteca" right next to "library."
At night jordan, aka Yogoman, played DJ for almost 400 people at Boundary Bay brewery in Bellingham. The picture on the left is from early in the evening. Many people like to hula-hoop during the music, as the guy in red is demonstrating. Once the floor gets crowded, though, the hula-hoopers are relegated to the sidelines. After the party, jordan's daughter "married" us in an improvised ceremony.
