Olympic Peninsula, Port Townsend and Hurricane Ridge

This week end we visited the Olympic Peninsula, the huge piece of land in front of Seattle. It was a great experience. We took the ferry from Edmond to Kingston that was worth the price. Then we visited Port Gamble where we could participate in the reconstruction of the American civil war. After we left for Port Townsend a Victorian-style village on the north edge of the peninsula.

In Port Townsend we lodged at the Manresa Castle, home of the first mayor of the village and after center for religious studies of the Jesuit. We ate at Finns [review], a gorgeous restaurant on the seaside. The seafood was excellent. I had Crab cakes and Alaskan wild salmon: yum!

The biggest attraction of this w.e. though was Hurricane Ridge: an American National Park with its visitor center at 5200 foot of hight! The view was just astonishing. We could also hike a bit with the stroller.
