Recalculating...

Heading to Whidbey Island, the GPS indicates we're traveling under the water :
Clinton-Mukilteo Ferry : Puget Sound, WA

Today included a trip out to Whidbey Island, which required taking a ferry between Mukilteo and Clinton. Winnie, our GPS, became very disoriented and showed our elevation as -345 feet and driving on the water! On the return trip, she did better and actually showed us we needed to take the ferry.

Winnie says, "Take the Mukilteo-Clinton Ferry." : Clinton, WA

River View

Sunset on the Rhein River : Basel, CH

Just a sunset view of Basel on the Rhein. That's the ferry that shuttles you from Gross Basel to Klein Basel and back again. And all for less than CHF 2.00 (about US$1.75). Happy Friday!

Gibby

Gibby, contemplating his next move : On the Rhein : Basel, CH

My friends Scott and Diana have rat terriers. They're a little like Jack Russells, but a whole lot calmer and with longer legs. This is a picture I snapped of Gibby as we were on the ferry crossing the Rhein River from Grossbasel over to Kleinbasel. I think if Scott hadn't had a hold of him, Gibby would have taken a gleeful dive right into the drink.
