Juneau

It’s not June, but there’s lots of water here (da dum ksh). Jen spotted the first whale of the trip as we approached the port, a humpback hump.

Disembarking in Juneau, we walked the waterfront, passing the tourist area as we laughed about selling the opportunity to take a photo of the big bear “present” on the dock.

Beautiful art and nature collide with crass consumerism
Bear scat!
Dave loved all the otters. Jen wished they were the furry kind.

Down the waterfront was a small park and a whale sculpture.

Returning to the ship for lunch, we decided on a nap, hot tubbing, and painting (Jen) and sketching (Dave) in the Crow’s Nest. A delightful dinner with a couple from Enderby, a talk on glaciers and volcanos, and then some wind down in the Crow’s Nest finished the night.
