We went to the Island of Birka. It's a world heritage site and the largest undisturbed viking settlement.
I drove the three hours from Silverdale to Ozette Lake on a whim and a rumor that it was warm out on the coast. When I arrived at Ozette, my car thermometer read 59 degrees. It was only 35 when I left home. It is a good thing it was warm too because a few sections of the boardwalk trail were icy and very slick. I couldn't imagine trying to hike this when then whole length of boardwalk (6 miles) is icy. Three miles of the loop are on the Washington coast and this was one of the few times I have ever been on the coast when it was sunny out. It was very beautiful and warm and I did not want to come home when the hike was over, I wanted to be on the beach still watching the sunset! I did get a surprise when I was hiking the beach section (besides the warm temps, bald eagles soaring overhead and fantastic views). I ran in to my hiking friends Cheryl, Ron and Mike.

The northwest coast of Cuba is ringed by an archipelago of coral islands. Great, great cruising. This is the sea of Hemingway.
The mighty Royal Commission on London Traffic that was set up to report on "the means of locomotion and transport" in the Metropolis and to report on the better organisation, development and inter-connections between the various methods of mechanical transport. The Commission was pertinent given the rapid shift to electric operation of tramways at the time as well as the many, opposing, plans for additional deep level tube lines. Volume 5 contains dozens of plans and maps illustrating the current situation in London, relating to congestion, population, workplaces as well as the contemporary transport network and proposals. The information comes from a variety of sources who were asked to give evidence to the Commission.
This plan of the Paris Metro was referred to by J. H. Lukach of the Traction & Power Securities Company and supplied to the Commission by none other than M. Fulgence Bienvenüe, the man usually referred to as the "Le Père du Métro" (Father of the Metro) and whose titles in the structure of Paris transport is shown in his title. The plan shows the Parisian system, the extensions underway and those proposed. The Commission would have noted that there was a stronger degree of central control as to the planning of the Paris system as against London.
A lot is on this map that is not on the earlier one, Tom Sawer island Rafts, Pirates of The Caribbean, Space Mountain (and much of Tomorrowland), The ferryboat landing (there were no ferries in 1971), and of course the things that scream 1970's like the GAF Camera Center, and several other mentions of Sponsors (including Pepsi Cola, Frito--Lay) The Plaza Swan boats are already listed as "(summer only)" so that is interesting to see two, it is also much larger than the earlier map.
