Searching for the Whales and Bimbos Bitchin' Burrito Kitchen

Yeah, here it is - the star of our last blog entry: our brand new cheap tent (Julia always calls it our first shared house). Behind our home, you can see our second home...the car! We're spending most of our day in it at the moment. But on that day (Sunday, by the way) we spent our day on a ship, as you can see below.

It's been the day of Whale Watching (one could also call it Whale Searching). We started the trip at 9 a.m. at Anacortes with a huge boat (as far as we can tell) and went on to San Juan Islands. It didn't take long until we saw the first oil tanker and some birds, but after some time there were even seals. But - no whales so far. So the trip continued as we had a guarantee to see some whales and 5 hours later, when the trip was actually about to end, we were miles away from our harbor and saw the dorsal fins of two whales. Ok, nice - but not as fascinating as we thought. Additionally, we had a problem now - being two hours late for our trip to Seattle.

One would think that we searched enough for that day. But that's a mistake, because we continued the same way in Seattle. After a two hour trip from Anacortes to Seattle we found the Moore hotel pretty quickly thanks to our navigation system. However, we noticed that the power plug of our car does not work and we can't load the battery using our car. Of course, the battery was empty exactly 5 mins before we found the hotel ;-) Anyway, we finally found a secure parking lot (which is not as easy as it sounds) and checked in to our pretty nice room. As we were hungry, we looked for a restaurant from Julias travelling guide and asked the receptionist for it. He told us the way..."you can't miss it, it's just a 20 mins walk!". 2 hours later...we were finally standing in front of the restaurant called Bimbos Bitchin' Burrito Kitchen. As this was our lucky day, the sign at the door said: No Minors allowed in here. You know who's a Minor (below 21 years), don't you? ;-) After talking to the security and getting a place next to him, we were allowed to eat something...thank god. We enjoyed two of the best Burritos in town and went to bed afterwards. It seems obvious, why we're late with blogging! See all pictures of the day in our Seattle Photo Album. Don't forget your comments, we love them!
