A six hour cruise. That's what we went on today. While we did not shipwreck into an iceberg, I did get sea sick and slept on the floor of the boat on the way back.
Yes, that is a glacier. Holgate Glacier. It was indeed blue.
We saw whales and otters and sea lions and birds. We made some friends from Canada.
Below is Seward, the town we are staying in. On the 4th of July every year they have a race to the top of this mountain behind the town. It's called Marathon Mountain, for that reason. Many can do it in under an hour.
This evening we walked on a trail that went around a couple of small lakes and saw what we think were young salmon hanging out under a tree. We walked through a fern dark moist forest and exited onto a road with a hamburger joint in a school bus. Split a burger and walked along the water past campers with wood fires and children wrestling in the grass. A girl sat on a rock by the water just looking out. Wind, cool breeze. Made strawberry smoothies in the blender for dessert...
