Christmas Lunch
ODC-It's A Wrap!
The Turkey is cooked and ready to be eaten. Until I learn how to levitate, I use these forks to lift my turkey out of the pot. They do work pretty good!
SP 4449 leads the Cascade Daylight though several tunnels ease of Cooks, WA. It has taken the train a while to get going this morning, but they have had a clear railroad for their run east through the Columbia River Gorge.
The cook and her family would have lived in this house, where they cooked all the meals for the main house, and the slaves.
The county has stored something in the middle of the cook room, and covered it with plastic sheeting.

Male flowers, called hīnano in Hawaiian, are surrounded by very fragrant bracts. The soft part of hīnano were chewed by early Hawaiian mothers and given to infants and young children as a laxative. Adults also used it as a laxative.
While hala was greatly used by early Hawaiians, It should be noted that the specific variety with no leaf spines shown here was not used.

We sat at the counter right in front of the cook. Its always fun to watch a good short order cook that can balance and breeze through multiple orders. This gentleman seemed experienced and had several breakfast meals cooking at the same time. This image was taken outside the restaurant.

After three years, I was fortunate enough to return to Tasmania, literally across the globe and 10 time zones; four flights were needed to get from winter Prague to early summer in Hobart.
Having relatives living in Australia and Tasmania, seeing old friends was easily combined with country exploration and adventurous trips, which is something we tried to pursue and use our 4-weeks time on the southern hemisphere to the maximum extent.
After a few lovely and relaxed family & acclimatization days in Hobart, time has come for us to leave the comfort of warm beds and friendly civilization, and to exchange it for a proper adventure comprised of hiking and travelling around the island.

The fame of Wineglass Bay, the most celebrated beach in Tasmania, ensures a growing stream of visitors to Freycinet National Park. It is one of the east coast’s poster destinations, and the sublime national park, which is a wild domain of sugar-white beaches, pinkish granite mountains and utterly transparent water, are the reasons everyone is here.
We kept Freycinet National Park for the last days of our Tasmania road trip, saving its beautiful beaches with some lovely walking to a very relaxed adventure we planned for the very end of our journey.
Aiming to beat the crowds, we planned to stay overnight for two days at the more remote Hazards Beach, where there is a reliable fresh water source and which is luckily free of day-trippers posing for selfies at Wineglass Bay, though it's almost equally appealing (and with more calm sea waters than Wineglass).
Yet again blessed with favourable sunny weather, we slowly wandered along the secluded western coast of the peninsula, enjoying its clear sea waters and sandy beaches for numerous swims and relaxed sunbathing.
Had a hard time adapting to driving on the left side of the road and watching out for all the motorbikes.
Another level reached, another chance to rest (as in "not climb") for a while. On this level we found the first of the petrified wood.
