Our first stop was in Juneau Alaska! We went whale watching and had lunch at a lodge that overlooked this view! The landscape in Alaska can not be described! Neither can the deliciousness of fresh caught grilled salmon.
On our excursion we saw several Humpback whales as well as a brown bear, bald eagles and Sea Lions that were hanging out on a booey (sp?) in the middle of the water. It was delightful!
Next stop was Skagway. A small tourist town that still looks much like it did when it was first established....except instead having a red-light district, they just have a tourist district where $3.00 will buy you a magnet as opposed to a nice lady! The town is surrounded by mountains and make for a lovely scene to enjoy while sipping a nice cup of coffee. It's peaceful there....
If you'll remember, in our earlier post I talked about regretting not buying those few key items of a new windproof coat and some head gear at the R.E.I. outlet...this is why. It was freezing the day we went through the Tracy Arm Fjord. The scenery was breathtaking however the cold took your breath away.
And our award for best of show goes to the South Sawyer Glacier of the Tracy Arm Fjord. The Northern Sawyer glacier was a close second, but nothing beat this view of rock, ice and water that has been here for millions and millions of year....It would take quite a bit of effort to continue not believing in God after seeing a sight like this.
It was a lovely trip, we have more pictures if you're interested, just ask and we can email them to you. We highly recommend Alasaka, we do not recommend the cruise mainly due to possible death by gluttony, which we all know is unforgiveable! Peace to all until we blog again!LOVE
