Early mornings you'll find us at Gere-A-Deli for coffee and oatmeal

The 'guard kitty' at Alley Cat Antiques wasn't interested in a photo despite the photographer's best efforts.

ANACORTES, WA - - This has been a doubleheader weekend with an arts fair and the weekly edition of the farmer's  market.  Being camped at Cap Sante Marnia puts us in the perfect location for walking everywhere. In fact, we haven't moved the Magic Bus an inch in the last seven days.
     The downside of the camping area, as mentioned in an earlier. blog, is no picnic table or. fire ring.  Not to worry.  We discovered Gere-A Deli on an earlier trip to Anacortes.  We're just about regulars as the table next to us fills up (as does much of  the. rest of. the space). with a group of "mature" individuals five days a week like clockwork.  Good coffee and a do-it-yourself oatmeal / grainola / yogurt / cut fruit layout with dried cranberrys, raisins and brown sugar is all we need.
    We usually go exploring after a suitable two cups of coffee and maybe seconds of oatmeal. Every shop on the street and side streets deserves being checked out.  Sometimes you get lucky and find they have a feline security force.
