Island 2016 - First Trip Day 5: Athena at the Beach
Monday, June 20, 2016
I hesitated to let her go much deeper than would allow only her paws to get wet. I didn't want her to bring too much wetness into the apartment.

Last day of palindrome week. Lazy Sunday morning. Dale and I walked over to Mission Hill for coffee and muffins. Not sure what I'm gonna do today. Had planned on going into Bayfield with Dale but, damn, he's been called in to work. When in doubt, take a walk. Slowly but surely the former red house on Whitefish Street is transforming into something bigger. Doesn't look like much has changed from last year.
Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Nearly Full Moon
Saturday, July 18, 2016
Great day. Moon will be full on June 20th. This year the full Moon and the solstice will coincide. Something that hasn't happened for nearly 70 years. Good night...
Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: The Beach Club
After his bike ride, Dale joined me at the Beach Club for happy hour. I drank old fashioned and he had beer. I also went for one of their mystery shots as I closed up the tab. My guess is that it's a swamp water kind of deal made up of the dregs of nearly depleted bottles of various similar liquors.
Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Skateboard Park

Athena and I found Bob Marley at the skate park. Didn't see anyone skating though. I don't think I ever have.

More clomping around with Athena. I like how they're including the Native American translations on the town signage.

Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Dale and Athena
Saturday, June 18, 2016
Athena and I ran into Dale just as we were returning from a walk and he was heading out for a bike ride.
Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Blue Jay
Saturday, June 18, 2016
Yesterday as Dale, Athena, and I were walking home from retrieving my credit card at The Pub, we saw a beautiful blue jay hanging pretty close to the ground along Main Street. I'm always impressed with how big they really are when seen up close. The above image was on a sweat shirt on sale at Mission Hill.
(Note: the truck cab pictured above is no longer on Main Street. It hasn't been for a few years.)

Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Lunch Time
Saturday, June 18, 2016
Tried to get lunch at the Beach Club but all the inline skating folks had the same idea so I got a blueberry muffing at Mission Hill Coffee instead. Then Grandpa Tony's for a BLT. The bread they use for their sandwiches is really delicious. I asked Mitch, my server, what kind of bread it was. He wasn't sure specifically but could tell that they make it there. I think it's a kind of flatbread.
Island 2016 - First Trip Day 3: Nice Long Walk With Athena
Saturday, June 18, 2016
Took Athena for a nice long walk in the later morning and saw the awards being given out for the inline skating event that began this morning.
