The maritime exploits of a suburban housewife … and her sister with a camera
Now that internet is sort of, maybe, kind of working at something above a snail's pace (maybe at a banana slug pace - and if you don't know what one of those are, you aren't from the Pacific Northwest), here are a few more pics from yesterday at Hubbard Glacier. As...
