We have not had Internet access for the last few days. Actually, we have, but as frugal teachers, we weren't willing to pay .75 for one minute of access on the ship...
We left Denali by motor coach and it took all day. The scenery on the way to Anchorage and Seward was the most beautiful I have ever seen! I would love to come back up here and stay in a cabin for awhile. We boarded the ship in Seward and didn't get a chance to look around.
The next day we spent on board the ship cruising the coast. We saw lots of glaciers and snow, as well as some humpback whales from a distance.
The following day, yesterday, was spent in Glacier Bay. We got to see an enormous piece of ice fall into the ocean. The park ranger said it was the size of a residential house, about 250 ft long. It was spectacular! The water was a beautiful turqouise blue and it was very peacful. After dinner, we saw an amazing violin/fiddle player on the ship. He danced while he played every song, and even went out into the audience and balcony! He told jokes, and even played the violin upside down on his head! We stayed up late to try out the midnight German buffet, but alas, no sauerkraut (not that I would eat it anyway.)
Today we have docked at our first port, Haines. I'll try to update again tomorrow in port at Juneau.
