26 Glacier Cruise
We took the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage down to the port
of Whittier, for a fabulous daylong boatride to see glaciers on Prince
William Sound. It was stunning.

Homer and Halibut
Cove
Lee and I drove down to the Kenai Peninsula, seeing gorgeous
scenery along the way, to the town of Homer, home to lots of artists and
galleries. There we took a boat across Kachemak Bay to the little community
of Halibut Cove, where about 70 people live year-round -- including Lee's
Aunt Diana.

SeaLife Center
After a great time in Halibut Cove, we drove to the other
side of the Kenai Peninsula to the town of Seward, where we visited the
Alaska SeaLife Center.

North of Anchorage
We took a couple of day trips -- one to Talkeetna (some say
the model for Northern Exposure's Cicely) in hopes of seeing North America's
tallest mountain through the clouds, another for some hiking and enjoying
more spectacular views.

In and Around Anchorage
We had several fun days in and around Alaska's largest city
with our hosts, Lee's uncle Herb and aunt Kathryn.
