8-17-2016 Skagway

This morning we woke up to this view out our balcony...
welcome to Skagway!


Our Bus driver for the day...

(downtown Skagway...)

drove us to the Yukon Expedition 
and White Pass Scenic Railway
which took us on a scenic 
(and sometimes terrifying!!!)
train ride on very high bridges
over very deep crevices
and along mountainsides/cliffs...

...up to "Tormented Valley"...

I must admit, 
I was was glad to reach to top of the pass, 
get off the train
and back on the bus with Spencer!




He offered to take pix of us at the roadmark signs,
but you could tell he is a millennial
because they were selfies, LOL.

8-15-2016 Yakutat Bay to Glacier Bay

 Icebergs...signs that we are getting close to our first glacier!
There it is... the Hubbard Glacier!!!
Over 6.5 miles wide!

Only two cruise ships are allowed into Glacier Bay per day.
In the distance we see the other ship
viewing another glacier.

inspire some zentangles...
