Rainy wandering in Port Orchard


When the Feet and Forks set a date to walk, we don't let a little rain stop us! Last weekend it rained a LOT, but we unfurled our umbrellas and walked for two hours along the waterfront in Port Orchard, WA. Kandi's umbrella started out with a white design, but after it got wet it turned colors. 


We had most of the walkway to ourselves, including this pier that seems to disappear into the Puget Sound.


We never know what we'll find on a walk. 
This time there was a totem pole,


...  a Navy boat being hauled out of the water,


... brave sailors out in the rain,



... and Nick at the Nostalgia House Bakery, who volunteered to put custard filling into a donut when I was disappointed that the custard ones were sold out. I've never had a bakery do that for me before, no matter how disappointed I look!


On the way out of the bakery,
there was this sign above the door.
Thank YOU!

Here's an article about the bakery's origins: 96564990


Then we had lunch at Whiskey Gulch and I forgot to get pictures. I had a gyro and a salad and Kandi and Joyce shared two kinds of tacos -- jackfruit with fried avocado, and, I think, chicken.

We keep walking to delay that check engine light from coming on.


Have a colorful day
