Today is a scenic cruising day and I am up early. We have a 7:15am presentation by the park rangers from Glacier Bay National Park here in Alaska that have stealthily boarded our ship even earlier this morning. Luckily my aunt has saved me a seat much to the disappointment of other passengers that were eying my seat. There are some morning snacks, which is good since I haven’t had time to eat yet.
Today we are on the ship all day and the goal is to find a good viewing deck when we get close to each of the glaciers. This is the time when I regret not splurging for a balcony room. While I am pushing myself awkwardly in the tiny available spaces to get a good view I dream of having a coffee and sitting on my balcony with a delivered breakfast waiting for the glacier view to come to me. As usual my anxiety is unnecessary because we spend quite a while at each glacier and the boat slowly rotates giving one ample chances to get a good view of the glacier – multiple times.

The only disappointing thing is that we are too early in the season to see calving, or when pieces of ice break off as part of the natural cycle of glaciers – though some are receding more due to climate change.
I forgot to include last night’s meals in my previous post so here are some pictures of the tartare, lamb chops, and port wine I had last night.
Tonight for dinner we visit the speciality BBQ restaurant to get some meats and southern favorites.
I go to a late comedy show. Luckily we don’t have an early rising in the morning.
