In September 2024, Carrie and I took a cruise to Alaska. We took over 650 pictures (certainly could have taken many more), and divided the 29 we dedicated to our Etsy Shop into 6 groups: Out to Sea, At Sea/Mendenhall Glacier, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, Ketchikan, and Return to Vancouver.
This section, At Sea/Mendenhall Glacier, contains six pictures, Alaska – Untitled #126 through #131.
This portion of our cruise was highlighted by many hours of travel over the water as we made our way to Juneau, Alaska where we would take a brief excursion to the Mendenhall Glacier.
We took a bus from Juneau to the glacier. Regrettably, we were only able to stay forty minutes until we had to be back for our return trip to Juneau.
After a brief walk we came to this view of the Mendenhall Glacier. A careful look at the lake will show the rain drops hitting the surface. While rain was a constant companion during our cruise, it did not dampen our spirits in the least. Nothing could diminish the inherent beauty and grandeur of the many things we saw, experienced, and felt in harmony with during our adventure.
You can find other specific parts that were descriptive of this section of our travel by visiting the stories told in Alaska – Untitled #126, #127, #128, #129, and #130.
