Does this picture make you want to take the Alaska ferry, otherwise known as the Alaska Marine Highway?
Luckily, it was taken while we were at a port - which means cell phone service and entertainment. The cup, if you were to see inside it, would contain wine.
Actually, it's not that bad and I paint an inaccurate picture of what ML really thinks (maybe).
I really like it - what can be better than enforced relaxation? Plus, there are things to look forward to! Like eating! And looking out the window! And sleeping! And no-one will be knocking at the door when you are reading the best passages.
We had great weather this time - unusual for late September. Usually it's raining and blowing 30 knots.
We're going through the Wrangell Narrows south of Petersburg in this photo. Note the moon in the center of the picture. What a beautiful evening.
Petersburg, not our most favorite town, is pictured behind the tents. If we were more on the side of "roughing it," you would see our tent. Alas, we did our time on the solarium for many years. Now we get a stateroom and are happy to have it (see photo on the top for the comfy bed - but you do get your own tiny bathroom!)
ML may differ, but I can't wait for the cafeteria specials of the meal. Most of them are quite good and as close to a home cooked meal as you're going to get. Like everything else, prices have risen - but I think it's a great deal. I just love to anticipate for hours what the choices might be!!! What fun! What entertainment!
You can pretend! Make your choice.
Love your enthusiasm Bill! And what a great garage - I think at the very least your friend Matt owes you dinner (if not medical coverage.)
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's not on Alaska too, have you guys read SOUTH The Endurance Expedition by Ernest Shackleton about his Antarctic expedition in 1914? Another amazing story.
