Started with a long walk on Kalaloch Beach. Lots of seagulls, black sand, hugh trees trunks, crab shells, surf, wind, and rain. It was beautiful. We lunched in Aberdeen then headed for Mt St Helens. The drive up to Johnston Ridge is a long beautiful highway. At the top the view is incredible. It was cold and wet and windy but inside the visitor’s center we learned so much of the geology and history of this awesome volcano.
For our first adventure together on the Emerald Isle, we walked the streets of Cobh, County Cork, explored St Colman’s Cathedral, and visited the Cobh Heritage Center.
Our brief stop in Portland Port in Dorset, England yielded just enough time to get a tiny taste of the historic town of Weymouth, a Cream Tea, and a desire to return.
After a guided bus tour of the City of Belfast we visited the Titanic Belfast Museum located at the Harlan & Wolff shipyard where the great ship was built.
Many times I have seen Mount St. Helens from the airplane flying into Portland OR. I never made it there though. Very impressive photos.
