Now in Seward. We're staying at a little B&B outside of town. Jan went out to check out the hot tub as soon as we got here, a nice one out in the open in the woods by a stream (everything is so green and luxuriant). She almost got hit by a swooping bald eagle, and scared a brown bear in the stream. Me, well I climbed in the hot tub and did some serious meditating... ahhhh....
The next day we took a 9 hour boat cruise/tour of the Kenai Fjords and National Parks. It was a rare clear, and relatively warm, day. We saw sea otters, humpback whales, orca whales, several bald eagles, puffins, murres, sea lions, and lots of homo sapiens. We saw several glaciers, stopping for a while at Holgate Glacier, where we heard and saw glacier calving.
Orca Whales, also knows as Killer Whales because they have teeth...
There are lots of bald eagles here...
Murres, also called Penguins of the North...
Bundle up... it's summer in Alaska!
Jan hiked up to Exit Glacier...
