There are over 10,000 bears in this small building near Mount Rushmore, South Dakota. Not shown is the bear we donated. This place is currently (2021) closed, sad to say. See: swansonphotos.com/bears.html

Now, this is not the best quality image, etc, but it shows how we used to make our own pizza from scratch. Every Sunday on Maui, we made these, often more than one, and often with friends in for dinner. Half of the pizza has anchovies, just one of the many combinations we tried. This photo is also one of our earliest attempts at digital photography.

We enjoyed our visit to Brugge, Belgium. We stopped at Cambrinus, which is a major beer cafe. This is their "house beer". Certainly made our walk through town much easier. Happy Table Tuesday, adds this, along with Tilley hat and beer. Hopefully a very nice combination!

Taken on our 2007 cruise in Alaska. This is just one sight in College Fjord. The glaciers and mountains are quite spectacular. We later discovered that most of the time, the sun does not shine here, and the fjord is often shrouded in fog and mist.

If you are shut-in, at least you can make your own cookies. These chocolate chip macadamia cookies were served at an Oktoberfest event held on Maui. (Yep, we celebrated Oktoberfest every year we were on the island.)

We attended a student-run "final exam" dinner at Maui Community College. They have a very aggressive training program. This a different view of the lovely chocolates that were part of the dinner goodies. Something for those shut in, and thinking about chocolate, chocolate, chocolate....
