It is a cool but sunny day. Doesn't make too much of a difference as we are taking a cruise to Juneau today. Our group took up most of the boat so it was fun moving around and chatting w/everyone.
No this was not our boat. This is one of the cruise ships coming into Skagway for the day. They average anywhere from 2 to 5 everyday starting in May through September.
Our our way, we saw beautiful waterfalls and a well maintained Lighthouse. Lot of mountains and glaciers. Oohps I see I used a couple of these pictures already. It is now three days later because we didn't have wifi connection so I put these collages together a couple days ago. For the next couple days, my text will be short and sweet.
On our trip, we saw Eagles, Bears, note the baby with her Mama in the bottom square, Seals and whales. At one time, there were five whales together. Of course, plenty of porpoises but they are so hard to get a picture of - move way too fast.
In Juneau, there was this neat plaque about the miner's. The city is all about shopping, eating and more cruise ships so the town was very crowded. We were only in town for a couple hours after we had lunch but then took a bus tour of a glacier.
Bruce and I ran up to see the glacier and the beautiful waterfall near it. You can see the reflection of me and the waterfall in the pond. Because of the glacier calfing, it raised the height of the river so in order for us to get there, we had to climb some rocks and walk through mud - yuk!!We had a terrific bus driver/guide to told us about the area, the city and people that lived there. He was a poet and told us stories as such.
We hopped back on the boat where we saw more sea life. It was a long day but enjoyed it all.
