We set off for two weeks of cruising and overland travel in the middle of July (2010). Our journey begins in Vancouver, British Columbia and takes us up through The Inland Passage, overland to The Yukon Territory, and then to Alaska. In only two weeks, we managed to cover a significant bit of ground. The details tend to overlap in my mind, but the pictures remain true. The blog of our journey will, for that reason, be almost entirely made up of photographs. If I don't specifically identify something (generally a building), that means that I either didn't bother to find out exactly what I was photographing or have forgotten. It's the way my brain works -- just remembering the visual and my overall perceptions. The details often vanish with time.
So I hope you'll be content to just travel with me and become, like me, all eyes.
