The 3rd day of our cruise we went to Juneau. We took a shuttle to Mendenhall Glacier, the driver was kind of weird, but gave us a very good run down of the city, pointing out what and where everything was. This was my first time seeing a glacier and I must say, it's different then I thought it was going to be. I though all glaciers floated in the water instead of going over mountains like the big ones here did. We had beautiful weather and got to see about 15 eagles flying over an inlet, that when the tide is high fills up with water, looking for Salmon to eat. That night we cruised to Sawyer Glacier. I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was. There were lots and lots of the skinny tall water falls and the water was aqua blue. We kept our eyes out for whales, but saw dolphins instead, which I can live with!
