Once we got disembarked and onto and off of the bus to downtown, we hiked on over to the Car Rental. \u00c2\u00a0On the way we saw…whales?<\/p>\n

\"Day1424203\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup!<\/p>\n

\"Day1424204\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While waiting in line at the car rental (you’d think there’d be extra help even on a Sunday when a ship with 2000+ people cmes in, but you’d be wrong…).<\/p>\n

\"Day1424205\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We decided to drive on out to Hope, and on the way we stopped at the Potter Msrsh Wildlife Viewing Area.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of nice birds there, like these Lesser Yellowlegs…<\/p>\n

And a…well, I am not sure what it is!<\/p>\n

\"Day1424212\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mallards, a Gull and Salmon.<\/p>\n

\"Day1424213\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were spawning here too.<\/p>\n

\"Day1424214\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And dying and being dinner!<\/p>\n

\"Day1424215\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We came through here on the train in 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Day1424216\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few more Yellowlegs!<\/p>\n
