Iki, alone.

Here's a picture of just Iki. She's the princess around here.

We had another great day of whale watching. The water was really choppy, with lots of white caps, but the whales cooperated and breached for us. It was amazing how many we got to see. We're so pleased. I wish I could get pictures, but I love the watching even if I haven't gotten pictures, yet. ( I got 31 pictures, but two of them were only splashes and 29 had nothing but water in them; so, I made the effort, but had no luck.)

Our son, David, emailed today that he and his wife might be able to join us in a little over a week. He'll know for sure tomorrow. I'm sure he's dealing with whether they can get free or not; whether they can get tickets or not will be the next hurdle. We're excited at just the possibility! That will be a wonderful birthday present for Don and I get to have the pleasure, too! Woo hoo! They joined us here in 2007 and we had a great time, so we really hope they can come again this year!

I feel great and Don does, too. We thank God for this trip and our life and health, no matter where we are.
