Day 6: Exploring The Island

After coming back from kayaking yesterday, today was mostly a day to relax and explore San Juan Island. We were allowed to sleep in late and and a little after 11:00, everyone headed out to the farmers market with $20 to spend. Then we split up in groups to explore Friday Harbor. We visited a local toy store, a book store, and a seafood restaurant called “The Bait Shop” for lunch. Then we returned home and we worked on two separate LEGO sets that were bought at the toy store, both with a marine theme. At 1:30 we drove out to Pelindaba farms to learn about the lavender fields and sustainable business and agriculture on San Juan. We then explored the fields and got to eat lavender flavored ice-cream. After that, we were allowed to have free time and hang out back at the dorms.
