Alaska Cruise, Day 2: Juneau, AK

September 15, 2002

On the third day, we docked at Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Helen and I did the "Glacier View Kayaking," shore excursion and we had great sightings of wildlife as well as the Mendenhall Glacier.

Gearing up for the kayaking.

We were well equipped.

Ready for push off.

Our first bald eagle sighting (look for the white "golf ball" in the trees). It was hard to capture them on film.

The Mendenhall Glacier as viewed from the kayak.

We paddled to an island that had many bald eagles and harbor seals.

Observing the bald eagles.

On our return, we saw a rainbow over the glacier, which you can sort of see here. It was a breathtaking view.

Last views of the glacier upon concluding the kayaking.

A shot of Infinity from the side. It features glass elevators mid-ship.

Another view of Infinity.

A more complete view of Infinity. She is a giant.

We took a short excursion to the downtown of Juneau.

The Red Dog Saloon in Juneau is famous for its history. We checked out the inside but didn't take any pictures.
