I may be wrong, but I think we figured out where mapmakers came up with the term "scenic byway." Good lord, the entire drive from Anchorage to Seward was just one panorama after another. Mountains, bays, reflecting lakes, glaciers. Pretty much everything. Two and a half hours of awesome.
The highlight was Exit Glacier in Kennai Fjords National Park. Not that it's a huge glacier (pretty tiny, relatively) but we could get so close. Turns out, the area surrounding glaciers is several degrees cooler than everywhere else nearby. Who knew?
Tomorrow we're spending the day on the water with a 9 hour tour of the fjords. That word never gets old to type. Bummed we only have 2 more days, but it's been great. Now, I need more fresh seafood.
dude, just how many purdue shirts do you own?
