July 5, 2008

There's a glacier in the background. We made a quick stop to take some pictures, before continuing on to a boat ride.

Hopefully we will see some whales.

Gigi knows exactly what to do since we already went whale watching back home.

Our captain piloted the boat like he was on a mission! And, he was. He took us to a pod of Orcas! It was amazing. Our guide said that this was a RARE treat. We saw about twenty of them swimming around.

We also passed by a buoy loaded with seals. :)

Unfortunately, Gigi missed it all! She was fast asleep when we were Orca-watching. :(

She woke up from her nap refreshed and ready to go!

Papa re-enacted what she had missed. :)

We went out on the deck. It was windy and chilly!

I felt like I had to hold on tightly to Gigi so she wouldn't blow away!

Then we saw something in the water!

We saw humpback whales! We saw one breach, but we didn't get a picture of it. :(

We ducked down for some cover and continued to watch the whales.

When we got back to the ship, we strolled around the town before getting back on board. Here's Gigi with some town leaders.

Our last stop was the Red Dog Saloon, unfortunately the bouncer wouldn't let Gigi in. I think that was a good thing.
