this is a taxi boat we saw in san Francisco. I don’t think it’s something I would want to be in. but check out the next picture for a different view of it.
it looks like a toy boat next to the tug boat.
I wonder how it would be to have a cabin in the back of the ship?
a neat ship in santa Barbara.
it was so hard to resist such decadent dessert’s.
coming into port los angeles. we’re almost home.
coming back through the breakwater to san pedro.
the pilot boat coming out to put the pilot captain on board to bring us in, as they do in every port.
the Vincent Thomas bridge. home at last.
we only found one place to stick our finger.
well, this adventure is over, but there is another one around the corner. we leave oct. 25th for reno.
i’m glad you guys enjoy the blog. it’s the best and easiest way I’ve found to share pictures. so if you are interested check back in a couple of weeks to see some more of the u s a.
thanks for all the great comments.
I love all of you, jill
Once in awhile-now and again-this is us 
Oh thank god you got the pirate masquerading as an innocent dummy.
That ship is so big. Dang. On the back, would you get more diesel fumes? Hmm. The taxi boat is adorable. I’m sure it feels good coming home…especially knowing you get to leave again. 😉
“we only found one place to stick our finger.” This is very hard to believe. I have seen you stick your fingers in many places and things. keep looking.
Love
Enjoyed these pics, especially the pilot boat coming to the ship, so dramatic. You are an artiste, Jill. Welcome home, guys.
Jill!!! At the risk of being a wet blanket, please don’t include your dates of leaving in your e-mails. Even when someone is planning to be at the house. Too many people snoop into our public communications any more. Love, Kara
