Day 218: Juneau, part 3

Here is our first glimpse of Mendenhall Glacier.

The Dailylife Wife walks down to the shore.

Day1421802

Juneau is a lush place…

Day1421803

Off to the right about a mile is a BIG waterfall.  Those little spots?

Day1421804

…People…

Day1421804a

There are spotting scopes to view the glacier through in the Visitor’s Center.

Day1421805

The View.

Day1421806

A nice view of the glacier in the Sun.

Day1421807

And a few moments later, not so much Sun.  As I recall from stopping in Juneau on our 2009 Cruise, this is the only glacier in the US of A that can be seen from a Walmart parking lot…

Day1421808

Fireweed.

Day1421809

Unknown.

Day1421810

Dwarf Fireweed.  With flies.

Day1421811

Alas, the only real downside to these Cruise tours (other than the cost!!!) is that you are on a schedule and can’ spend all the time you’d like in some places.  It is back to Juneau!

Day1421812

And then onto the Ship.  I think we were late for our 2-hour feeding…
