Valdez

I drove to Valdez to visit with our Forum Founder, Beth. Beth, a full-timer, is working in Valdez on the tour vessel - The Lulu Belle. I can't wait for my turn tomorrow!

Anyway, on the drive here, I passed through this huge pass. And some beautiful waterfalls. But there was a bunch of construction so photos would have been difficult.

This screen shot of my GPS perplexes me. Note the elevation (top right).

Last night, Beth and I went out for a Mexican dinner. It was very good. Wine was okay and Beth's margarita - not so much. No pics. We forgot. 

Oh, before dinner, we hurried across the street to see all the eagles that come most afternoons to be fed, or check out whether they will be fed. What an amazing sight (and difficult for me to photograph). I hope to see them again this afternoon. 

This morning, we took the pooches (Abby and Peaches) for a nice long walk before Beth had to get ready for her work day. It was a great walk and I know all four of us enjoyed it. Alas, however, no bears were spotted. Maybe this evening or tomorrow...

But I did see some sights.

A Peter Toth statue:

A beautiful vista:

A Fat Mermaid and a Walrus (and butt shots of two dogs):

And last, but certainly not least, the Lulu Belle in the harbor (foreground):

That's as far as I've made it. I decided to spend one more night here (3 total) and take The Lulu Belle Cruise tomorrow (so far, WAY less crowded and supposed to be another beautiful day).

Thank you, Beth, for a great first day and night!!
