The perfect beach-cabin morning. Hashed potatoes with leftover grilled salmon, pristine and calm sunrise (but loud with chatty birds!), lush scenery changing as hours slip by. Hoping that'll be me in a kayak out there this afternoon. #orcasisland #familytime #happyplace #salmon #breakfast #eggsovermedium #lifeinthenorthwest

Oops, forgot these, @buckbayshellfishfarm steamed clams. What a lunch! It's gonna be leftovers for dinner tonight. A big salad starring lots of grilled salmon left from last night's fabulous meal. So, not too shabby, really.... #lifeisgood #familytime #seafood #clams

Lunch, Orcas style, at @buckbayshellfishfarm . All the seafood....When I asked where the crab had been caught, the crabber happened to be standing nearby and pointed, saying 'about 10 miles that way'. #eatinglocal #seafood #seafoodsavvy #lifeinthenorthwest #beshellfish #oysters #clams #crabby #teamdungeness #crabcakes

What a gorgeous couple days in Bergen. We'll be like those visitors who come to Seattle when it's sunny and warm, telling others, "Bergen, rainy?? It was stunning when we were there." Appropriate, as Bergen and Seattle are sister cities, which I'd forgotten. Visiting the totem pole gifted to the city was part of our exploring today. Stopped at a stave church, went up the funicular for stunning views while here too. Train ride to Oslo tomorrow. #travel

Moon and sunrise over Amsterdam. In second shot, note there's a roadway passing under the waterway. In third, that red building a restaurant called REM that was on my list for a previous trip and haven't made it out to get. A countryside visit today and free time to visit town a bit. I imagine there will be some genever sipped. And look at those blue skies!! #travel #exploring #drinkinglocal

Breakfast with a view of the White Cliffs of Dover. On the other side of the Strait, moon over Calais. We had very rough seas on the English Channel yesterday. Couldn't stop in Le Havre, got a bonus sea day. Still windy and choppy, but a picnic relative to yesterday. Bruges this afternoon. The excitement of traveling the seas!
