Coastal Cruise to Canada, 7 October to 14 October 2018






Fleet Week, San Francisco
 Astoria, Oregon

A view from the ship.
 The Column, Astoria



The road leading up to The Column

The homes on the hike to The Column are mostly historic and very beautiful.

I didn't see this and am posting it because I love the moon and it's a spectacular shot.


 I walked to the seals and up the steep hills through lovely neighborhoods to The Column.
 Flavel House, Astoria. I toured it. It's grandeur is like the John Muir house in Martinez.

 A painting of Astoria Pete took for me!
Great Wheel, Seattle. We all rode it!
The grounds of the Space Needle are wonderful. I walked around until the shuttle came. We all walked around Pike Place earlier.
S took this picture of the Space Needle.
 Stanley Park totem poles, Vancouver

Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver



I walked from Canada Place, around the perimeter of Stanley Park, and back to Canada Place!



That was a LONG walk.


S took these of Vancouver skyline and the tree in autumn color.
I walked the perimeter of Stanley Park and back to the Grand Princess!

Rock skipping at the beach near the pier, grounding, and a walk into Victoria to see Parliament building, horse and carriages, totem pole, lovely neighborhoods.

Horizon buffet daily for breakfast.

Pike Place, Seattle


 Second formal night.













 Our wonderful servers stood still for a picture with us. I bought my skirt at a thrift store in Astoria!

 The guys skipped rocks at the beach near the Victoria, British Columbia, pier.
