Went Cruising!
We drove to Seattle and met up with our dear friends Ron & Laurel Smithwick and boarded the train to Vancouver. Our cruise left Vancouver for a 7-day tour through the Inside Passage ending at Seward. It was our first cruise and we loved it.
Icy Strait Point - Celebrity Millennium at tender.
The Celebrity Millennium from the waterfront in Juneau.
Christening our stateroom before leaving on the cruise.
Our elegant dinner with Ron and Laurel in "The Olympic" on the Millennium. The Olympic was the sister ship of the Titanic. The interior of the dining room from the Olympic was salvaged and installed on the Millennium.
Humpback whales in Icy Strait.
Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent. It is thickening and advancing (i.e. it's not receding).
Our visit on the bridge with the Captain of the Millennium.
Doug and Ron went fishing in Seward. They both caught their limit of coho salmon. Here are some of the coho salmon and rock cod from the charter boat prior to cleaning and filleting. Many of the salmon had been removed and filetted at this point.
Evidently, cleaning and fileting is not men's work.
Our Alaska Railroad trip from Seward to Anchorage.
Beautiful sunset on Turnigan Arm (part of Cook Inlet).
Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai built in 1894.
No, this is not a statue of a priest. He's real and he's from New York.
Bear scat (the noun not the verb)
Ooooooo, pretty.
