After a nice 35-minute ferry ride, Abby
and I escaped from Seattle’s busy Friday afternoon to this beautiful island by
Puget Sound. I think I've found my favourite place in the Northwest of America.
Bainbridge is a perfect mini community - one main street with arts & crafts, cafes, bookstores, antique shops...I have no idea why there are so many shops selling delicate crafts on a small town of a small island. Apparently, tranquility and good coffee are the best friends of arts. I envy Seattleites.
We had a great time there touching all the colourful fluffs in the Churchmouse Yarns shop. Although displayed a large number of finished knitting products, Churchmouse only sold the yarns, in order to inspire, but not to spoil, its customers. The shop also had teas and ceramics - what else could be more relaxing than knitting and drinking tea? Oh yes, a cat and some jazz, please.

| A perfect day for sightseeing, photo taking and window shopping. |

| Francophiles everywhere! |
 |
| Lovely hillside houses by the water. |

| Seattle looks like a mini Hong Kong from my ferryride. |
