Summer?


Here I am bundled up. Dave reminds me that it can get chilly near the coast at home in the summer too. I feel like we are soooo far south but we figured that we are roughly as far south of the equator as Portland Oregon is north. There is still a ways to go to the South Pole.


We spend the day exploring Port Arthur which served as an island prison in the 1800's and is now a national park and top tourist attraction. It was a beautiful site despite being cold and windy today. The area south of Hobart is a complex array of islands, curvy peninsulas and lots of sheltered water ways. The open ocean coasts are dramatic and we were really taken with the area.
