Cruise to Alaska

All this is totally out of order, but we traveled with our wonderful friends Sterling and Susan Angle. This is the Amazing Empress hotel in Victoria Canada--a beautiful city!!
This perspective kind of lets you know how large our ship was. 1/5th of a mile--1800 passangers and 800 crew members. We did a bit of walking
This is Mt Ranier in the background with the city of Seattle in front--it was a georgous view pulling out of portThis is Gary--volunteer for task unknown--he was dressedup like an oompaloopa and had to hit an inflated golf ball off the stage--a few hundred people watching--he missed and the air of his swing knocked the ball off the stage--he brought the house down. blurry picture cause I was laughing so hard.
This was looking down on Juneau. We were at the top of the tram in a rain forest--imagine that in Alaska
This was a shot of glacier Bay. It's hard to show how really magnificent it was
Sterling and Susan--hiking through the rainforest
Michael their brother in Law also came with us.

ok I an a spacecadet blogger but here a few pictures from our Alaska Cruise. Gary is sitting on a tangled web of trees on top of the mountain in Juneau. This was a beautiful rainforest.

This was this was the tram we took 1800 ft to the top of the mt. It was sooo beautiful

This was a glacier wall I'm guessing at least 150 ft high. We witnessed several cavings--the ice cracking and falling into the water. It sounded like intense thunder.
Just me and my honey in Glacier Bay
