Day 9 Juneau

Juneau, the capital of Alaska, no roads in or out, you can only arrive here by boat, plane, or birth canal! Went whale watching today aboard the St. Maria...saw many humpback whales, harbor seals, bald eagles, and stellar sea lions. Grilled silver koho salmon lunch at the beautiful Orca Point Lodge, then off to the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier. Just when you think you have seen the most spectacular sight on earth, you find another equally or more unbelievable.
Gene finally saw his bear...ha ha! Formal dinner night...lobster which was delicious. If you don't see something on the menu that you want, just name it and they will fix it for you. We are getting very spoiled.

  1. On the bank of the river stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
    On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
    Little White Dove was her name, such a lovely sight to see
    But their tribes fought with each other, so their love could never be

    Running Bear loved Little White Dove
    With a love big as the sky
    Running Bear loved Little White Dove
    With a love that couldn't die
