Kamloops is too smokey, so we headed up to Tod Mountain, hoping it was a little more breathable.
It was a little hazy, but better than the Kamloops valley, where the Air Quality Index was at 24 today. 10 is high risk.
We had a wonderful morning wandering through the village, which was having a farmers market, and walked through some of the trails.
Then we had lunch outside at Masa's with a view of the mountain.
Doug & I had a Wonderful day 😃.

A day at Paul Lake. It was a beautiful warm day with a gentle breeze coming off the lake and hardly any smoke.
For such a warm day in Kamloops, there was hardly anyone at the lake.
On our way home, we had a rare sighting of a baby bear, it was on a hillside in a cluster of trees. I'm wondering, where's the momma ? A few miles down the road is a big black bear, wandering the fence line. I hope they find each other.
I hope everyone is having a really great weekend. 😎

Catalina Island Day !!
Took an early tender over to the island, to beat the crowds. The sun was shining. Wonderful day 😎.
The first thing I noticed, quite a few homes are built into the side of the mountain like White Rock.
The city is set up for tourism. It's a very walkable place. There is benches all along the boardwalk, public washrooms & showers.
Catalina will not grow any larger than it is now, and the buffalo heard is at 138 & is restricted to 150.
I did see two herds of the buffalo but they were too far away for a picture.
I also could not get a good shot of the Wrigley Manson.
The bus tour was crazy but great for the views.
I had a really great day !

So... yesterday was quiet day at sea. It was cool & foggy. I watched a towel folding thing, played bingo, nope didn't win. Walked the decks. Ate a taco lunch at the Blue Iguana. Dinner was good. But the best part of the day was the evening show. Motor City.

Had a great Sunday exploring a small area of Long Beach.
The morning started off cool & very foggy, but by 11:30 the sun was out, turned out to be a gorgeous day. Went to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Great place loved the Seahorse exhibits. Walked the boardwalk & Shoreline Village.

Wow, my adventure started even before I could board the plane in Kamloops. They had me flying to Grande Prairie instead of California! Major changes at the airport in Calgary! Loved the shuttle bus to get from domestic to international. But, oh brother, they make you go into this side room check you in with your boarding pass & you have to wait for your name & flight to show up on a screen. Many, many mad people, because the flight was already delayed, & now they make you wait again. My name didn't even come up they had to do manual paperwork to check me out. Then you go to immigration. Have to say that was easy. Hi, where are you going, good bye.
Anyways, I'm here in Long Beach now. The Queen Mary is interesting, lots to see, she is old, really makes you feel like you're on the Titanic with Jack & Rose.
Btw... the rooms are Freezing!!!!
