Whidbey Island

Whidbay Island to the north of the Puget Sound. With its 100 km is the longest island in Washington state and is connected to the mainland by a metal bridge that is one of the most photographed in the state. Among the first Europeans to explore the island in 1792 there were Captain George Vancouver and then Joseph Whidbey, who drew the first map and gave it its name.
tourism center parlando, l'isola ha vari State Parks, riserve e piccoli villaggi. A Nord trovate il Deception Pass State Park , dove c'è l'omonimo ponte che passa sullo stretto che collega Skagit bay allo stretto di Juan de Fuca. Ottimi panorami in tutte le direzioni. Proseguendo verso sud si incontrano Joseph Whidbey State Park , Fort Ebay State Park e Fort Casey State Park . Quest'ultimo è la sede di un forte costruito alla fine del 1890 per la difesa del Puget Sound. Alla fine il forte non venne mai utilizzato, ma i cannoni e la zona fortificata rimane comunque ancora oggi un'attrazione per molti turisti. Anche dal punto di vista naturalistico, il parco offre incredibili scorci delle alte scogliere. Durante visit the weather was really favorable: sunny with a slight breeze. Illusion of spring, after five days in Seattle we have reviewed the snow ...

Hot Chocolate In Different Flavors

Curling Bonspiel April

L ' April Bonspiel is certainly one of the most anticipated tournaments of the season at Granite Curling Club Seattle. And now I've got that part, I also realized why. Each year a different theme is chosen: this year was the circus. The whole club was decorated with colored cloths on sofitto to simulate the tent, and then there were posters, colorful balloons ... and the strangest characters you'll ever meet. Several teams exhibited very special uniforms: they are seen by the punk wigs, hats to pink pig, with clowns, pharaohs, knights, bearded women, psychedelic shirts, and so on and so forth. (See the photo album to believe). We, not least, we participated in the race on Sunday morning at 8 am wearing our pajamas. Too funny. The tournament begins on Thursday night to finish on Sunday. Given the incredible number of participants (70 teams), the matches are also scheduled at the times and more impossible, such as the round of 2 am and 6 am And then the evenings were always very happy: Thursday night's competition to create animals with balloons (sembra una cosa da bimbi, ma vi assicuro che non lo é); venerdì sera (fino a mattina) karaoke per tutti; sabato sera cena ed estrazione dei premi della lotteria. Divertimento assicurato. Se poi come nel mio caso riuscite anche a portarvi a casa un terzo posto e un premio di $50 a testa, bhè questa è solo la cigliegina sulla torta!
