Day Eight


What a cute tour guide. Rachel gave a very wonderful commentary as we traveled along to see the State Museum, the Mendenhall Glacier, and the Salmon Hatchery. 




As a seamstress, I am impressed with clothing that is constructed for a specific purpose. Waterproof clothing was made of seal gut with tiny stitches and a unique  seam technique. 


We saw a beautiful video at the visitors center with amazing footage of the wildlife. The falls at the glacier was pretty, but there were skads of people. 






Rachel did a nice smooth tour and chatted, using warm friendly humor and fun stories (which may or may not have been true).

The salmon hatchery was informative and it was amazing to see the salmon go up the ladders. There were tanks inside that had the baby fish that they will allow to grow and then release into the ocean   





Whale watching was a lot of fun and we saw a gam of whales that fish together. The group consisted of about 15 whales. It was fascinating to watch. 



We also saw sea lions. 





For dinner we ate at Tracy's Crab Shack. - great crab.
