San Juan Islands

Wang Bin, Yang Yin, Kang Xun, Wu Fenfen, Wenjuan and Manchun

There wasn't much hiking and there wasn't much driving. It's just a very relaxing vacation.

We stayed in a private 3 bed room home near Roach Bay. All three nights we slepted more than 8 hours. We cooked in the large kitchin and enjoyed the meals at the crab house of Friday harbor. Our life there matched the quiet style of San Juan Islands.

It was interesting experience to visit the historical English and American camps and learn the history of the "pig war". War is stupid. Plunging two great nations into war with minor matters (a death of a pig) is absolutely absurd. We all know to treasure each inch of territory of the motherland. On the other hand, we should treature more about peace and life. Pulling great nations into war with trivial matters is just absurd.
