We left this morning on Fjord Express – here is our boat:
The scenery was INCREDIBLE!! Lots of mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, and the water is this color:
How about this:
The lighthouse – now defunct (and for sale – :-)):
And the wildlife – oh my! Here are Stellar Sea Lions:
“Aren’t we just the cutest!”:
“I am the top dog, er seal, here.”
And I am going:
Going:
Gone:
We also saw lots of Bald Eagles: 
And this fellow who decided to check us out as we were checking him out – LOL:
We arrived in Juneau and took in the downtown area. This town reminded us so much of Pottsville and Minersville – our hometowns. The buildings were close to each other, many built on the side of the hills, and narrow street.
We did spent time in one of the Museums on the history of Juneau and the role it played during the gold rush days. We had lunch at the harbor and watched the float planes take off and land – neat!
From there we headed out to Mendenhall Glacier
Since we only had a short time there, we took a short walk around and then stopped in the Visitor Center.
And before we knew it, we were back at the boat and on our way back to Haines. All in all it was a great trip.
Tomorrow we head out so stay tuned.
