This is the view tonight, a nice glass of wine, and a view out the window that just can't be beat... no dump tonight!
Passing traffic... on the way to Valdez on the ferry, this ship passed us. Looks like an Alaska Cruise is in order.... The scenery is spectacular... We saw whales, seals, sea lions. rock sheep, eagles... just amazing...
I'm using the lobby computer, and this may not be the right photo... There are seals laying all over the flat island towrds the left side (if this is the right one!).
Here's a whale venting, just off the side of the ferry.... I looked & was able to grab a quick shot....
And, the entrance to the harbor at Valdez.... Most of what I saw looked like paintings, not real views.... it's absolutely amazing up here....
My brand new camera is slowly falling apart. The first parts fell off two days ago and more parts have fallen off each day. I only hope I can finish the trip with it. Check out Mikes blog (to the left) with even more photo's. Now, every time I turn the camera off it gives a long beep & displays error messages.... It may not last much longer.
The room tonight is soooo much better.. not that much more expensive, but really nice, the lounge & restaurant are really good... different than the dump last night.
Talked with the cook on the ferry ( really good clam chowder) and he turned up at the bar tonight.. bought him a beer and we chatted for quite a while... His wife came in later, she's a teacher on the west coast of Alaska, teaches native kids in small villages, he's a cook on the ferry line..... what a life they live, we talked for quite a while....
Tomorrow we head north, back towards the Alaska Highway. We plan on heading down the highway, back to Watson Lake, then south on the Cassiar Highway through British Columbia for a while. Then we'll find a road that will drop us out somewhere around Idaho I think...
Today was a good day! Tomorrow they're predicting rain again.....
