Once again thank you to my west coast brother. Today is "National Sea Serpent Day." I've never seen a sea serpent although it rained hard enough for a while yesterday that I wouldn't have been surprised to see one slither by. I have been to Loch Ness but I didn't see Nessie. I have also been to Lapland in the far north of Finland and to Alaska but have yet to see the northern lights. But thinking about things I haven't seen got me thinking about the many things I have seen. I have seen kangaroos hopping around in the Australian outback from a hot air balloon and the snow covered eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range at sunrise. Quite possibly my favorite sight ever. I have seen the Grand Canyon, Old Faithful, Carlsbad Caverns, organ pipe cactus, many national parks, Venice, the David in Florence, and the Sistine Chapel. I had a beautifully clear view of the Alps on one flight. And so much more, so who needs an old sea serpent anyway? In September my spouse and I are taking a driving trip through the north west and coming home through Canada. I'm certain I will add a great many new visual memories to my mental collection. Also, no doubt, a great many more pictures to my phone/camera. Can't wait to get on the road again.
