May 12th - Anacortes

So today was my first day going out on tours. We were in Anacortes, WA, which is a very small town, but does have some nice places to go. In the morning we went on a "Walking Orientation" which was basically just a slightly narrated walk town the main street of Anacortes. We had the town crier get on the ship before the tour and welcome everyone to the town. It was pretty entertaining.
After the walking tour, we had lunch on the ship..then went out to LaConner on a bus ride that was narrated. LaConner was pretty nice because I got to eat ice cream and go shopping while everyone walked around! After we left the town, we went to a Salmon Tasting and got to eat delicious smoked salmon!  

Even though the beginning of the day was fun, the best part of my day was that night. Jon, Angelo and I went out to Anacortes and ran around the streets. The boys don't really get a chance to get off the ship during the day, so I made them go for a walk with me. I didn't realize how crazy the boat can make you until I went to hang out with Angelo that night and he was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling and he started venting to me about his life as I sat on the desk haha. Since we basically had a therapy session so I called our walk our Mental Health Walk. Except it ended up being so scary and ended up freaking us all out. Anacortes had this artist come in a paint murals of people all over the walls...so you feel like people are staring at you while you walk by. Also, the town was so dead that when a cop passed us walking down the street, he went around the block and slowly drove past us again to make sure we weren't up to no good lol. All and all, it was really fun though and we got to finally act like ourselves and not like managers for the first time.
