Our original plan was to take the fast ferry over
and have lunch with and meet the granddaughter of the cousin in Whitehorse who
works for Holland America. She is now in the Seattle office, so we decided
to take a day cruise to Juneau. On the way we met two very interesting
young women, Fredricka, a student from Germany and Kira, who works in Whitehorse
but originally from South Africa, both experiencd world travelers. We saw
our first whales on the way over and glimpsed more glaciers. A bus ride
out to the Mendenhall Glacier was part of the the tour, leaving three hours on
our own downtown. After our last few stops, Juneau was definitely the big
city. Several cruise ships were in and all the shops were bustling with
tourists.
