We have met some interesting people and made some nice friends on our trip. Here are our new friends Larry and Margie from Ohio. They are in their early 70's and are a little more rugged than we are. They camped in a tent during their 2 month trip around Alaska while we must admit that we are spoiled by Rita's luxury. We met them on the ferry going to Sikta and were on the ferry again with them to Juneau. Then, we crossed paths with them in Valdez and Homer. This picture was taken at the Valdez harbor where we shared a delicious salmon burger dinner. They are ahead of us in their travels so we have been texting back and forth about places to stay and things to see. They are back home now, and Margie says that she is enjoying being back in her home and especially having her bed, bathroom and kitchen again -- in that order. After awhile, you get tired of living out of a toiletry kit and taking showers in moderately adequate bath houses. We sometimes shower in Rita, but we have to be very careful about the water and take "military" showers. We are not tired of traveling yet, but I'm sure we will be by the end of this trip! We have been on the road for almost 3 months and are now on the downhill journey -- with about 2 1/2 months to go.
