Before I continue, I was somewhat chastised for not telling of the further adventures of our traveling companions, Jim and Mary Ann Mulligan. We explored Juneau with them and then went on a private boat to search for whales, and bald eagles, who I understand it are as plentiful as pigeons in Petersburg. We were successful in all our endeavors. Jim finally saw enough whales to prompt him to stop shooting with his camera, he saw a flipper, he saw a dorsal fin, and he finally saw a fluke. Now he can die in peace. We had a wonderful encounter with Liz who was our boat skipper, and who knew where the whales were, and gave us our money's worth. She even knew about the Moby Dick story about the birds circling around the eventual spot that the whales will breech.
After the boat ride, Tracy went off in search of a good map of SE Alaska. Jim and Mary Ann and I decided to have lunch at Hangers, a local joint. Tracy continued her search for a good map! After lunch the three of us met up with Tracy who was still on her quest for a good map. So, the three of us went on the tram up the mountain while Tracy continued her quest, for a good map.
Everyone made it back to the ship, the three of us came back first and then Tracy, who was successful in her tracking down a good map.
GREAT shots and thank you for the level of detail. I see chastising is a very effective tool with you. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, very funny entry. I can hear your voice. I am so glad you had a skipper that knew the ropes.
Funny that the one with the map was last to make it back to the boat.
I am feeling awe and jealously.
