Birthday Bash Part 3

While at Rolf's we did a couple of excursions around Lake Tahoe.  Rolf, Tanzy and I drove to north shore of the lake to check out tubing possibilities on the river.  The river was way too low but it was fun to see Tahoe City where my parents retired to some 50 years ago.  Such a beautiful lake in a spectacular setting.  

We checked out the old neighborhood and the house where my parents lived, 
now pretty ramshackle.  

On another day, a group of us went to Emerald Bay, one of the most beautiful features of the lake. 

 

Yes, the water is an emerald hue there as you might guess, waterfalls cascade down the granite cliffs.

And there's a replica of a Viking castle built in 1928/29.  http://vikingsholm.com/

Some critters joined us for lunch.

While we were admiring Emerald Bay, the others were still partying fiercely back at Rolf's where his community friends gathered to honour him.  (And totally glut him with sweet goodies)
