Traveling

Filed under: Travel — Susan Stevenson @ 2:46 pm

I wanted to stop in briefly to update here. Steve and I are currently in Cordova. Cordova is a small coastal town located by glacier-carved mountains, nestled at the head of Orca Inlet in Eastern Prince William Sound.

We spent two days in Valdez before catching the ferry to Cordova (a 2-hour trip). We’ll be here until Wednesday morning.

We’ve been having the best time traveling, and I’ve taken hundreds of photos. Some of the highlights include watching sea lions feed on the thousands of pink salmon at Allison Point in Valdez, and driving out to Childs Glacier here in Cordova, and seeing huge calving episodes last night.

From Cordova, we’ll be traveling to Cooper Landing. I hope to have time to make a proper blog entry then, as Steve will leave me a “fishing widow” for most of the time that we are there.

We are so fortunate to not only live in a beautiful state, but to also have the opportunity and the ability to enjoy summer travels to both new and familiar places. I shall never grow tired of the splendor that surrounds me.

Until next time…
