We were up early since we had a flight to catch. A flight in a seaplane! We flew over 5 glaciers. We could see miles of glacier snaking down the mountains. The blue of the glaciers is just so vivid!
We landed in front of Taku Glacier and went into the lodge to eat brunch. But someone else was waiting out for a taste too. In the tree right next to the grill there was a black bear hungrily waiting for some salmon. Once we headed into the lodge to eat she shimmied down the tree and licked the grill clean. And it wasn't long before more bears came. I think we saw 8 bears come to lick the grill.
But back to brunch. Because brunch was delectable. Cinnamon peach scones. Cinnamon apples. Herb biscuits. Smoked beans. Salmon. Oh, it was so good. So good in fact, that 5 of us went and bought their cookbook from the gift shop. I'm getting caught up in dreams of cinnamon peach scones right now.
After brunch, we were lead on a walk in the woods praying that we wouldn't see any of those bears from earlier. The plants up there are insane. They get so much moisture there that plants grow on plants!
On the flight back, I got to sit in the cockpit!
Once back in Juneau, Brad and I did a little trekking of our own. We went to Mendenhall Glacier and went hiking.
But soon it was time to get sailing to our next port.

Can you see the moose eating?
This is about 1/2 of of our crew on the cruise
