Trip of a Lifetime Continued...

We saw lots of totem poles.
Had to get a picture with the "Falcon"
for Dave and Mark from the Falcon Faculty!


The sunset off the ship.
The sunset in the middle of the ocean is soooo beautiful.


Going thru the Tracey Arm Fiyord.
I know HORRIBLE picture.  It was 6:00am.
But it was sure worth getting out of bed for.

The Mendenhall Glacier.

We went whale watching in Juneau and saw a mother whale swimming with her calf and a "calf escort".  Our guide told us the "calf escort" is a male who swims with the mother and baby to help protect them.  The picture below is of the whale blowing water out of it's spout.  That is how you can first spot them.   You see the spray coming out of the water.  It was an amazing experience. 


In Skagway.  That is our ship in the background. 

We also saw several bald eagles.
