We are still in Juneau.  We had no internet access for the 3 days it took us to get here on the ferry.  Yesterday we were sightseeing and we were to leave this morning about 4AM for the 3 day ferry ride back to Bellingham, WA.  Unfortunately, the ferry is experiencing engine trouble and they have been working on it all day.  The latest word is that we will be leaving tomorrow evening.  There is no internet access on the ferry while we are in port and there will be none for the trip back to WA.  I am posting on the Ipad so cannot post pictures.

It has been raining for the last four days steadily and about five minutes ago the bottom dropped out of the sky and it is raining some of the hardest I have ever seen.  We are tied up to the dock and can hardly see the mountain right across the road.

We arrived at about 6 AM yesterday in Juneau and spent the day riding around downtown Juneau and out to Mendenall Glacier.  Downtown has many old buildings and a lot of gold rush history.  The glacier was spectacular.  It rained all day and was pretty foggy by the time we got to the glacier so my pictures will not be National Geographic quality by any means.

This is a note to let you know that we are still alive and well though getting a bit tired of rain and being tied up in port while they do repairs.

When we get back to WA I'll post photos and give more info about what we've seen.

Just a preview - we've seen orcas, porpoises, sea lions, bald eagles, salmon, sea otters and countless sea birds but no bears or moose.
