northbound train trip on theAmtrak Coast Starlight , the
next morning I woke up after agreat night in a very old
(00:20):
hotel. It reminded me of olddetective movies where you had
the , the desk right by thewindow. Instead, there was a
bed, wonderful place, cup hadsome coffee , a bagel, and uh ,
cream cheese . Then I walkedabout a mile and a half or so
down to below Landers Streetoff of fourth , where there is
(00:41):
a tiny budget Renta car andpicked up A3 Chevy Malibu. And
that was what I got drive forthe next , uh, 10 days . My
daughter and I turned it in onSaturday , try and get to the
upper the ships , dock throughships , but decided no , I
wanted to turn around and goback to Iver's , acres of clams
(01:03):
to enjoy a meal at a place thatI gone with my family many
times . So I went and found aparking spot right across the
way because earlier with theconstruction that's going on
the summer of 23 along the dockway , uh, it was incredibly
difficult to find a place topark. So I had to use the
public . Went to Ivers , didlittle recording there .
(01:27):
Enjoyed a great acres of clamsmeal. It was delicious. Even
had to order some extra breadto sum up the juices . Went
over after that, got in my carand went to get in line to take
the Bainbridge ferry , whichyou can drive on , and waited a
little while, less than a halfhour . Had my camera ready and
(01:47):
I'll also present a video onwhat it takes to drive on ferry
boat . That'll be a a lot offun. Gotta Bainbridge Island
stopped along the way at aStarbucks and had not only a
coffee, but also gotta listenin on a Bruce tips tv. Patreon
get together. Spent an hourlistening there. Then I went
couple blocks away in Paul'sboat and met our travel
(02:11):
consultant for Holland AmericaLine Mitch Henderson. And we
had dinner. I gave him one ofmy , uh, Bruce Cruz off to the
rails glass and he said , I'mgonna drink beer outta this .
And I was very happy . We had agreat dinner and wonderful
restaurant . And then I drovethe last of the , probably 70
(02:31):
miles into western Washingtonon the Olympic Peninsula. Got
into the place that I wasstaying and opened it up and
made sure that the hot waterwas on the water, was going
into the house , made sure allthe electricity was ready ,
started my stay, and it waswonderful to be in the house .
Again , just being able to sitand reflect and think about my
(02:51):
life and things that I wannachange . Reasons why I wanna
live long , would includespending good years with my
wife , good health. I'm reallyexcited about the hikes that I
took during the time up there.
I actually went kayaking. I hadthought I was , uh, above the
weight limit, but my daughterread closely and I was under
the weight limit of 2 75 . So Iwent and tried to paddle about
(03:15):
a mile. And , uh, when youdon't have a good core and
cannot really sit up straight,its somewhat terrible. I was
glad to actually outta the boatand walk again was just
wonderful . My daughter and Ialso had other , uh,
adventures. Uh , had a greattime just being able to sit
