November 12th

No blog yesterday, it was to crazy of day- not to mention there's no Internet or cell service on the ferry. I hope my Mom isn't too worried right now. I will post this handwritten portion of the blog as soon as we port where I can use Internet. Yesterday was a lot of dealing with the unknown trying to find the port of Bellingham was extremely stressful, mostly because I made Gabe drive and then gave him faulty directions. We fought a little but made up with a victory dance when we reached the sea. Boarding the ferry too hours of waiting, luckily they boarded us quickly compared to others. Then we hauled our bags and birds upstairs to our 'stateroom'. Olive and Iggy were spotted by two small children and quite liked the attention. The Dad, trying to distract his two small sons. Said "look over there!" pointing to stuffed bald eagles in a glass case. The little boy replied "those are dead birds Dad I don't care about dead birds, I only like live birds." once we got to our cabin it was time to relax, take a shower, and let Olive out. She thankfully came out with no screaming and made a nest in Gabe's hand. Iggy just stared into his small mirror. Gabe and I went out on deck as the boat was unhooked from the dock and began to drift into the dark sea. Goodbye lower 48.
