Finally, some great weather! We had a fabulous day for our drive from Anchorage to Seward. We got upgraded from a little car to big truck for free. I was pumped! That's got to be the pretty stretch of road in the country. Glaciers pouring down around every corner. A senic overlook every 5 miles. We hiked a little (.8 mile) trail up to the Burns glacier. There was amazing light behind the glacier. . the first light we've seen all trip. What a treat it was! You'll just have to see the pictures. I can't get it out.

We got set up in our campsite. Imagine a campsite with an internet terminal! Mom, Jen got you note and picked out her T-Shirt as soon as we got here. Thanks for thinking about her on her birthday.

For Jen's birthday tomorrow we are checking out the sea life center in Seward and then giving the Sea kayaking another shot. The weather is supposed to be great again tomorrow. We'll take a water taxi to thumb cove and paddle around in the cove. I don't know if it made the national news or not, but a Carnival cruise ship pulled into Seward last week with a dead Humpback whale stuck to the bow. They dumped the carcass in this cove and apparently it's drawn lots of wildlife (bears!) to feast on it.

Speaking of bears, we "saw" some today. They were injured and in the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation and refugee. A kind of glorified zoo. So we saw them, but not really in the wild. The conservation place was built on top of old Portage, which sank into Turnagain Arm in the sixties after a massize earthquake. The dead Sitka spruces still stick, killed by the rush of salt water.

My ten minutes are about up. . . Thanks for reading!
