Wow! Aptly named, that is for sure..

Thanks Andrea. The whole trip was really great!

It is a rapidly acquired, permanent afliction/addiction!

You really got some nice shots, and those are not easy. Wonderful birds!

Chuckle! You got infected with the Scott birder virus... :-)

You guys are amazing how you continue to explore our wonderful planet. You are an inspiration.

Take care. As always, I am looking forward to following along.

I agree with what Steve said. I don't think that's cheating - I ride an e-bike and some might consider that cheating, too.

Other people have blogged their barge and bike tours already. It will get you into joining as an active cycling blogger. Welcome!

I am going to try! Remember, though, I “ cheat” somewhat by being on a barge and bike . 🤔

Will you be sharing your adventures in a journal some time, Karen?

You’re unhappy about the political climate? Ugh, I have to live in it. Going to the Netherlands for four weeks will at least ease my angst. Grateful I “fit in” there looks wise, with blonde hair and blue eyes despite my short height.

Definitely! I’m very unhappy about the political situation here and am looking forward to going to Europe! I’m just glad that Tucson and Portland are politically liberal.

Unfortunately for us we are boycotting all things from the US in a show of Canadian patriotism. We will not enter US territory, even for airplane transfers, until after the next election or perhaps later than that depending on the political situation. We still have many dearly loved American friends however and hope we can continue to count you among their number.

We are lucky right now to be in Tucson, Arizona, one of the very few places in The USA, with 50 miles of dedicated biking trails and good weather in the winter.

Yes, it's all in tomorrow's post, including some fabulous bird photos reproduced from the other blog.
