30/5: After hiking in the park, I took the bus back to town and decided to walk around Port Angeles for an hour. You know, so that I wouldn’t miss anything.
But really, there wasn’t much to miss. It’s a small harbour town, mainly consisting of two main streets and then a couple of roads that lead out of town, flanked by odd stores, fast food restaurants and motels. The two main streets are kind of cute, but it doesn’t take long to see most of them.
Still, having a city hall with those beautiful snowcapped mountains in the background isn’t too bad. Port Angeles is a cute place, even though it felt far too desolate in my taste the afternoon that I spent there. If I put it this way: I wouldn’t want to live there, that’s for sure.
(On the other hand, living outside of Port Angeles, and being neighbours with the Olympic National Park, that I wouldn’t mind. Not one bit.)
