i had a delightful conversation this am with my lovely friend up in washington so i felt it only appropriate to share today some photos from our terrific, albeit intoxicating, trip to a little town in washington called port townsend.
these first pictures are taken from the ferry. legend has it that the town was built on two levels intentionally. above the bluffs, old victorian houses lie, housing the moral and pure. at sea level, was where the debautchary occured. sailors and ladies of the night flocked the streets, as did brew houses and brothels. well the brothels are gone, but brew houses not.
although we never made it to the above bluff side (no snickering), sea level proved to be a beautiful array of buildings and well, brew houses.
one of the most beautiful parts (for me) about this town was the array of signs that hung on, and comprised of, walls. as well as tattered doorways.
our final stop, although at the time we did not know it, was into a fantastic brew house called,
water street brewing. http://www.waterstreetbrewing.com/ i highly recommend going there and trying their brew and just "enjoying" it. the decor is amazing as is their blown glass. just look at the beer handles!
anyways, i absolutely adore this town. and even though at the time i was bummed that i didn't do more, i wouldn't change what i did see there for anything. but, heed my warning. i will return!
xoxo.
