Here is what I wrote on Monday night, but I posted it in the wrong place, so I am doing it again....
We sailed into Ketchikan on Sunday at 7 AM and we will were able to get off the ship for three hours, Then on to Wrangell by 3:30 PM next we went to Petersburg at 7:30 PM getting off for just a short time each of those places. We arrived in Juneau at 4:30 AM on Monday where we got off to stay with old Kodiak friends for a while.
What a great day we had...seeing the glacier, riding up the tramway to the top of Douglas mountain, having crab bisque at a neat little restaurant by the harbor, and having dinner with Phyllis and Mike's daughters, their partners, and other friends. Here the sunsets go on literally for hours....From around 7 PM to 10 PM. Last night after a wonderful dinner of fresh halibut we went for a walk near the Mendenhall glacier to look for bears. We left the house around 10 PM and returned around 1130. It was still light! No luck with the Bears, but we have seen three porcupines today. We got up at 2 AM to see if we could see the northern lights, but it was still too light.
This morning we are leaving for Tracy Arm to see glaciers in their boat and we will be gone for three days.
