Today was another bright and sunny day.
It started with cooking breakfast outside on the picnic table and
then taking a little drive outside of Valdez. We were checking out
the trails. We were stopped by an avalanche and had to return to
Valdez. First time we have ever been stopped by an avalanche.
We then went on the 6 hour Stan Stephens
Columbia Glacier Cruise. Incredible! Simply Incredible! We will
let the pictures speak for themselves.
We saw:
Sea otters:

And large chunks of brilliant blue ice:
And as we were leaving the glacier area this beautiful bald eagle posed on a block of ice for us

The day ended equally amazing when we
ate dinner outside on the patio at The Fat Mermaid (halibut tacos and fish and chips) and 2 beautiful bald
eagles landed in a tree right nearby. Yes, we did have a camera!
Tomorrow we will with some sadness
leave this beautiful place and start our drive toward Fairbanks.
