Even when you're travelling, after a while, it seems like sometimes you need to get away from it all. Today we decided to relax and piss away a day... Did a bit of shopping, had a leisurely lunch, spewed a prolific number of blog entries (gotta love back-dating!), then Carole went for a snooze while I went a checked out the Valdez Museum.
They Museum is actually two buildings, one of which is dedicated to the 'Good Friday Earthquake' of 1964. It measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, one of the largest ever measured in North America (equivalent to 1 million Hiroshima bombs). In some places, shorelines were redefined as some islands sank by 30 feet! Surely a stupendous event, but I did find it a bit odd that the Exxon Valdez oil spill only had one small display in a dank remote corner of the other building.... I'm sure corporate donations go a long ways towards reshaping history these days.
Tonight we made dinner with some fresh Halibut we bought from the local cannery (recommended by Captain Fred no less). The filets were so fresh I swear they were still twitching! There are few things better than seafood when it is fresh.
