This is an oil tanker that is larger than the Titanic. However, ever since the Exxon Valdez disaster, single hulled tankers (only one layer of steel between oil and ocean) are not allowed in the US so this just sits here.

A Day of Water
Just a quick note for today to show you what we did. First we drove to Multnomah Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in the US, and then we went on a jet boat ride of the Columbia River. The falls were truly stunning and I wish we had more time to wander around and take it all in, but we were on a schedule. I also was wishing that I had my larger camera because we could have taken some spectacular pictures. The jet boat ride was fun, although our driver was a little irresponsible and instead of the fun donuts he's supposed to do in the boat, he did them at about 45mph and one of the ladies got hurt pretty badly trying to hold onto her daughter and herself. It's not worth getting into the whole story now, so you can just enjoy the photos.

Great pics! Also, thanks for not blogging about Harry Potter. I have to avoid most everyone's blogs because I haven't read any of the books yet. Boo.
Nice advertising for the museum and ithaca in your pics! Looks gorgeous!
Hmmm...that oil tanker looks almost as big as the one we rowed by in Tampa. Almost. :)
the pictures are beautiful. The picture of Mark would look good on your wedding site.
