It’s been warm and fine for the last few days, and when we went through a totem pole museum the morning in Nth West BC, the attendant proudly told us that it had reached 30C there yesterday. We were a bit further north and overlooking a huge glacier, so it wasn’t quite as warm for us. xx

Now which is easier, the deep snow of the last trip or the deep rain of this trip? Glorious day here today!!

We thought it would be a tiny fishing community at the end of the peninsula, but it’s a busy place at this time of the year. I think most people go for the fishing, though. That TV show ‘Deadliest Catch’ is filmed out of Homer, I think – have never watched it, but someone told us that.

You probably can’t guess how that town got its name. We saw a couple on the side of the road yesterday. There are road safety boards along the side of the highway, and there have been 192 moose (or is it ‘Moose’s’? Or maybe ‘meece’?) killed this year. We really don’t want to hit one of those critters – they are so top-heavy, and their legs are spindly, so when they are hit by a car, they topple onto it.
