Fog like pea soup this am about six… and how did we know… the fog horn started its’ “booooooo” sound… every 30 seconds… actually put us back to sleep… By the time we got to the dock, the clouds were lifting. Got off the boat about 9ish and walked the waterfront. It was gorgeous; wish they could build up Tacoma’s waterfront like that!
Came back to the boat and picked up Halley and Dan for a trip out to Peggy’s Cove… supposedly the most photographed lighthouse in Canada… and, wouldn’t you know it, the fog clouds rolled in around that point. Just about the time we were leaving, the sun finally poked it’s head out. Still, the rock formations there were beautiful… lots of granite, most of it all smooth and round. The light house sits there so stately… and notice the ants around it… NAW.. those are people… I did post a picture I took of a picture that showed the lighthouse when it’s all clear.
On our way home, we went by three memorials… One for the plane that crashed in 1998 killing all aboard; one commemorating and explosion that took place in 1917, when a munitions ship and a chemical ship collided, exploding and killing 2000 people and totally wiping out all the homes within a mile. Those that didn’t die instantly died later cuz they had inhaled the chemical fumes…. And, finally, the last memorial was for the Titanic passengers who died. We simply drove past that one… so, so, so many tourists.
Wow, what run on and run off sentences… I hope some of my well heeled friends aren’t driven crazy by this!
Left the dock listening to the sounds of a bagpiper and drummer… felt like we were in the movies! Oh, and we are so mad at ourselves… we brought the News Tribune with us to take our picture with the paper and then get the paper to print it. We kept forgetting so we too one topside on the ship as we were leaving. And the angle I am standing… with Black Plaid Shorts… egads… I look HUGE… Damn, me and my vanity… still gonna send it in though… Tomorrow we will be in Bar Harbor, Maine. I’ll chat with you later!
Dang, there he is again, working... but he found some free WIFI!
