My friend K and I took a ferry trip today from downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island (and back). It was a pleasant way to spend a rainy Monday.

Once on Bainbridge, we walked from the ferry terminal down along Winslow Way West.

Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day from this hip dude:

We ate lunch at Emmy’s VegeHouse, a little shack at 100 Winslow Way West. Emmy’s menu is completely vegan. K, who is not vegan or vegetarian and doesn’t like fake meats, had soft tofu with veggies (item S6 on the menu). I don’t usually like soft tofu, but K offered to let me try it, so I did. The soft tofu that Emmy’s uses was fresh and delicious. I had the “chicken” (wheat gluten) with veggies (item S7). Tasty food at a reasonable price.

Then we wandered around a bit more on our way back to the ferry dock.

I took a few bike-related photos for The Boyfriend.

The Bainbridge Island Bike Barn, located right by the ferry terminal, provides lockers and bike hooks for commuters:

The Chilly Hilly, Cascade Bicycle Club’s annual ride to get bikers in gear for biking season, was yesterday (Feb. 22, 2009):

The B.I.Cycle Shop is located at 124 Bjune Drive SE:

And this last image has nothing to do with Bainbridge. This is the Pioneer Building at 1st Ave. and Yesler Way.

Back downtown, I waited for the bus at a stop near here. I’ve always liked the different exterior colors and textures of this building.
