Bainbridge Island: Day 2

I slept in this morning on Margaret's new air mattress in her home office.  We had a nice breakfast and lunch. I introduced Charlie to the joys of matrix algebra via some open courseware videos from MIT's Gilbert Strang.  Charlie has become an enthusiast.  Margaret, Charlie, and I then toured the Bainbridge Island Historical Society.  They are pictured below in a creosote application machine.

 Later we went to the fancy bookstore where Margaret is fully vested in her reading club exercises.  Her club was featured on the shelves.

 Later we went shopping for food at the no-nonsense Town & Country Grocery. Vegetables were purchased for the dinner.  Here is the checkout man hamming it up for the camera.

We did a little tour before dinner.  Here is a cove.

 Here are some trees, second growth, as the original was cut down in the early 20th century.

Margaret baked here special sockeye salmon for dinner. I grilled the vegetables (brussel sprouts with onion, mushroom, and pepper).  Sweet potatoes were baked, and corn was boiled.  We chatted all evening in the backyard.  And to bed.
