Glacier Bay in Alaska

The incredible view from our balcony when we got up Sunday morning.



It was the most amazing sunny day as we cruised through Glacier Bay. Some people were even hanging out on the deck in swimsuits. We had to shed layers as we went through the afternoon. Didn't last long though. Temperature dropped as quickly as it went up.

This is the Marjorie Glacier. It was HUGE. The ship hung out here for an hour or so as it spun around so you could see from both sides of the ship.

We took up our spot on the railing and waited as the ship turned. Our patience was rewarded as we saw the glacier "calve" several times on our side. I got lots of good pictures of ice chunks falling into the water.
We're about to pull out of the port in Juneau, so hopefully this will upload before we lose our wireless connection. (this is the 2nd try, actually...)
Grandma, we'll try to connect again tomorrow if we can! ;)
