Hello all! Elizabeth, what a wonderful tour you're giving us -- I haven't been very visible, but I have lurked to keep up as much as possible, even while thinking about participation was too much effort. You've done the Pacific Northwest proud.
Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for this evening.

That's so nice Frannie! Thank you my northern sista!


A typical afternoon here in the Pacific Northwest the fog rolls in....This is a photo at high summer of Neah Bay, where we just were, believe it or not. Welcome to the Washington Coast!





As we leave the Straits of Vancouver and the borderline between Fran and me and our whaling expedition, we'll see the northernmost Cape in the United States, and one of the most beautiful when the fog breaks:


Around the Cape ~~~


Ruby Beach, my favorite on the coast. This is the Pacific Ocean.






Tonight we're on our way to Port Townsend.....to stay in a haunted house! YES! Bail out now if you can't take it, but it's beautiful!
Hey Chris, the dog show is over! Where is your lodging inspection team???

Those beach and coast shots -- can't get enough. I don't know about you, but I tear up and get shivery every time -- and it's not like it's a novelty anymore. Port Townsend. Been there only once, when we took the Black Ball across from Victoria after Thanksgiving (October for us) dinner one year (hmmm...gotta be ten years at least, now that I think about it), and spent a few days driving around the Olympic Peninsula. Awesome -- just awesome.

It's 8 pm -- guess I better go produce some food. I will be back.

ok girls! We'll need a LOT of beer and alcohol to get through the night over here! LOTS. Port Townsend was an old victorian seaport that ran the fur and lumber ships between Alaska and Puget Sound from in the late 1800's. The movie, "An Officer and a Gentleman" was filmed here (Richard Gere) as it's also a big naval base.











Here's the "haunted" Starrett Mansion where we'll be staying the night. How do you like your rooms?

ok then let's do something else! I've lived here for so long and nothing ever scares me.
Let's go get some seafood and watch the sunset before bed, ok?? I bet Princess will like that!

I'm a little sorry the haunted mansion adventure isn't happening, but I'd have had to bail soon, anyway, since my energy is flagging. So some seafood and a nice sunset is probably about my speed. Quiet wind-down. 'Night all!
