Hi, this is Luke. Right now it is 8 a.m. in Juneau, AK. This afternoon we are going to get on our next ferry, The Kenikott. Our first ferry, The Columbia, was the biggest in the fleet. We saw some exquisite scenery and wildlife as we ferried from Bellingham, WA to Juneau. I've posted a picture of the Columbia plus, some of the things we saw. One is of a Canadian lighthouse and another is of a whale that we saw. You can barely see the dorsal fin of the humpback in the picture. On the ferry I passed the time playing cards with Tess, reading, whale watching and even watching movies in the theater room. During our trip to Juneau we had three stops. They include Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg. In Wrangell I bought a piece of rock with some garnet in it from some kids on the dock. The last picture is of Mendenhall glacier outside of Juneau. If you wonder why some if it is so blue, it's because the entire glacier is made out of old snow. The blue layers have had all the air squeezed out of them because of all the rest of the snow on top. It was an amazing sight. That's it from Juneau. I'm keen to get on the ferry to Whittier. Luke
