AUGUST 15TH, 2009, FREE DAY IN VALDEZ

This morning started out like yesterday with rain, rain and more rain. It also ended the same way with rain, rain and more rain.

It was great having a rainy morning to sleep in and be lazy. Very few stirred except us poor souls who had to walk our dogs. To be honest, Rudy really would have just as soon stayed inside.

Around noon, we noticed several cars leaving for various activities such as going to look at glaciers, museums, trying to find town. We thought with such a large civic and convention center, there must be a downtown somewhere. NOT!

After a really neat lunch at the Alaska Halibut CafĂ© where we dined with a room full of locals on halibut, we ventured off to Annie’s Place where we saw the films on the Alaska Pipeline construction and the earthquake. There we ran into our fearless leaders, Phil and Sue, along with several other couples.

This completed our day on the town, so we headed back to the RV to nap, print pictures, eat, etc. Our drivers meeting was held at 6 and we were so excited when Reverend Roy pointed out we could see across the bay. However, the rain continues. Maybe tomorrow the sun will be back. It just makes it difficult getting around—it sure doesn’t dampen our spirits.
