Below is Juneau. We saw several float planes landing as we were coming into port. We heard a statistic that said that one in 50 Alaskans have a pilot's license.
What's that boat? Oh, just another cruise ship. There were 3-4 other cruise ships in each port. That's a lot, a lot of people.
After we docked, we headed for our tour bus. We were happy to get a very good driver/guide. Here's Wendall, the driver. (Well, at least his shoulder.)
Our first stop was Mendenhall Glacier. Only about a 20 drive from Juneau. Such a beautiful area.
I picked up a piece of glacier:
That photographer got in my way! :)
Our next stop was a salmon hatchery. There was a lot of salmon! We learned about how salmon return to the place they were born by smelling even just a drop of the water from the creek they came from.
This is a fish ladder built at the hatchery.
We finished the day off with some yummy fresh crab.
