Tickets?
So what tickets did you guys have? Any survivors?

Sounds like a great day
that castle sounds cool. I know what you mean about the triangle circular stair case. no matter how far on the outside you take you still end up slipping and taking 3-4 stairs on the back of the heel like skies.

Border collies?
So are all the border collies in Scotland :-p Looks like a lot of fun! Glad you guys are enjoying your trip.

Oldest Pub?
How old is the oldest pub?

Alaska trips
Richard, I enjoyed reading and viewing your Alaska/cruise photos! Reminded me of my family’s holland America cruise last summer in Alaska!

Have enjoyed your trip. Sun is up in Galveston, will be heading for Houston by noon. See you Sunday.

Rivers
The two rivers contrast is amazing!!!

Day 5
Why did you have to go through customs? The runway looks solid in that picture; could you tell it wasn't concrete when you walked on it?

Day 3 & 4
Feels on Wheels. Haha! That's good. I definitely would be on 4 wheels with doors riding through Alaska. I guess the train is pretty safe. Crazy to think of a bear approaching and taking your chances by curling up in a ball. Is that what they say to do? 20 feet. That's a lot of snow. Summer time is definitely the time to visit. Glad you found someone who had needles to get you through. That picture with Denali in the background...I didn't even see the mountain until I read the caption. In those were clouds. Huge! Or YUGE as Trump would say. If you ever do have to pan for gold for a living all you gotta do is set up a shop with supplies and call the tourist in to help out. Ha! I didn't realize there is still a lit of gold mining happening up there. Nice pics of the flowers. I never thought of Alaska as a place with lots of flowers. Riza would like that one by the post. Love that snow mobile.

Day 2
Looks beautiful. The bald eagle looks huge. The train looks nice. Huge windows.

Have Fun!
Glad you made it there safe. Looking forward to following the trip.

Cathedral
Do you know why the cathedral has less damage than pretty much anything around it? It was a decision the allied bomber pilots made. Nothing looked the same when they returned with a fresh payload, so they decided to leave the cathedral alone. It was big enough to see from the air and an easy landmark to communicate to each other on where they need to drop the next round.
