These were totem poles that greeted us at the Vancouver airport right off the plane.
Vancouver from the shuttle to the train. It looks pretty creepy. The driver said that they built all of these buildings relatively quickly. It looks like Russia. The driver also told us about the corner where you can "get anything." Crazy ride through town.
This is Hazen's friend Steve the Hero. He realized the day before the criuse that his passport had expired. He is pictured here celebrating his 23rd hour with his new passport. He hopped a plane from Orlando to Huston Texass to go to the passport office. They took pity on him got it to him in 4 hours. He made it to Vancouver with 12 hours to spare. Amazing!
Here are Hazen and I posing at the inside passage. The land was this close on both sides of the ship. I'm amazed that something that big could fit down the passage. The scenary was beautiful! We stayed out the whole time and saw lots of bald eagles and whales.
Hazen and I perched on Evan and Caroline's (the bride and groom) veranda on the first formal night. Isn't he handsome?
Here we are in rainy Ketchikan Alaska. They get about 200 inches or rain every year. I can't even count the amount of times where we heard that they had beautiful weather for 2 months that ended 3 days before we got there. Oh well, we got authentic.
A fun scupture in Ketchikan that I made Hazen pose next to.
Creek Street. Beautiful! There were salmon running this stream, though we saw many more further north.
Hazen seeing a bird. I love this picture. We later discovered that it was a swallow that we had both seen before, but the discovery is the fun part.
Black bear fishing for salmon in Ketchican. Earlier, we saw a mother bear and 3 cubs in a tree not 50 feet from us, but my camera wouldn't cooperate.
One of the may totems that we saw in Ketchican. We got to meet the man who made this beautiful scupture.
Hazen feeding reindeer. They told us that reindeer were the first domesticated animal, after cats and dogs.
We toured an abandoned sawmill. Hazen was enthralled by the machines.
Hazen and I posing in beautiful Juneau just after Evan and Coroline's georgeous wedding.
Our bus driver did us a solid and stopped at the Mendenhall glacier lookout. That's it behind us. It's hard to see, but it was quite a sight.
Hazen took a glass blowing class in Skagway. He was the only one from our ship to take it, he had such a great time and made an awesome blown sculpture.
Hazen snapped this picture of me outsideo our cruiseship in Skagway. We were watching a distant glacier peaking over the mountain range and new birds. 
I was facinated by this building. Our tour gide for the Ghost and Goodtime Girls tour told us that the park service bought this building for a whooping 2 million and it will take 10 years to fix it. It belonged to the town organizer Soapy Smith, it was the unofficial center of town. Soapy Smith ruled the town with an iron fist and pretty much made it what it was. He was pretty corrupt though and eneded up getting killed in a duel. Every year on the anniversary of his death, the town drink to his honor and then go pee on his grave.
Ahh.. our home away from home.
"Presenting the ship!" I was trying to hold it in my hand, but that never really works for me.
Here's a shot of our cruise ship while everyone is on deck while we are viewing the glacier. I got cussed at by a lady in french for taking this shot. Aparently, I was being rude by standing in her way, but she said some mean words in french and shoved me. Now who's being rude?
The Hubbard Glacier. After seeing this, I think everyone needs to see a glacier in their lifetime. It was indescribably beautiful. I could not stop taking pictures. See those tiny specks in the water at the foot of th glacier? Those are seals. This thing was huge!
Another shot of the glacier. This is not photoshopped folks. It looks even more stunning than this shot!
The sealife center in Seward Alaska. Warren suggested that we visit this place. We were not dissapointed. I got to take lots of shots of puffins. These were the only ones I saw on the trip.
Here's a puffin. Isn't he cute? They all thought I was going to feed them so they came swarming over to me. I could have spent all day with them.
We took a train from Seward to Anchorage where we caught our flight home. The train ride was spectactular! 4 hours of beautiful views and glaciers! We even saw some moose. I loved it.
Well, that's it. We had a great trip and saw some new birds. We had a wonderful time with friends and are looking forward to our next cruise to a warmer destination.
