Clear sky, high seventies, hot Seattle afternoon, Mom smiles from the bow of the Bremerton ferry filled with those photo posed prior to the launch.
Deck clears ten minutes into our hour ride, too cold for others, other than her, traveling at eighteen knots over chilly forty degree water on her first ferry ride.
On the inside bench I watch Dad watching his wife of fifty three years through the big viewing window crossing across the Puget Sound on his last ferry ride.
Bavarian Barista
At that first taste, my initial savoring sip, smoky, rich, strong,
unlike any anywhere, anytime I had ever had and I had had my share,
but this German Kaffee mit zucker und kreme, served hot as her smile
suggesting a second cup for the rest of my life.
