Cruise Continued...

These pictures round out our trip to Seward. There are more pictures of the wildlife, but Tyler's camera is dead and that is where the pictures are; stay tuned.

Our favorite flags.
Tyler and I ... how sweet.
Sophie bundled up on the cruise ... yes it was cold enough for layers, hats, layers, gloves, layers, long pants, socks, and boats.
The glacier. Imagine a carolina blue rock ... I know, ugh carolina, just go with me ... except the blue is even bluer as if it is crystallized, like a clear blue. We sat in the little cove and the captain turned the boat off so we could hear the glacier creak and crack. It was startling how cold it was around the glacier, how blue it was, and the sounds that this thing made. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience! :)
On the way back to Seward this humback whale put on quite the show for us. Tyler has some great pictures, but as stated before they are currently locked in a dead camera. When they are retrieved they will be here ASAP.
