Orcas Island In The Off Season
The San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest are a magical place not only for their awesome beauty and painfully cute quaintness, but also for the pristine quiet energy they emanate. Until a couple of weeks ago, I had only been there in the Summer, when it stays light until 9:30pm-- read the blog I wrote then for details on places to stay, eat, what to do and how to get there. I was lucky enough to return to Orcas Island a few weeks ago in the middle of November and enjoy the serenity of the off season. I left feeling restored and reinvigorated and with a plan on returning as often as possible!
