Goodbye for now


I was finally able (I hope) to post a couple pictures. These are from a couple mile hike to Exit Glacier outside of Seward. You could get right up and touch the glacier. Course they don't want you to do that and there are signs asking you to stay away, but of course everyone was right up with the glacier.

There were bear sightings in the days leading up to our taking this trail and even a couple the day we went on it. I almost didn't want to make the hike, for fear of getting between a mom and her cubs.

Den carried Ed the whole time on his shoulders and I sang kids songs and nursery rhymes to ward off bears and entertain Ed. Den probably thinks seeing the bears would have been less tortoruous.

Not sure when next I'll have both internet access AND time. We're supposed to be home in a couple days--unless they offer us an amazing bump on the way back. From the Homer Spit...
