We have been no where near the internet for days so I have some catching up to do. We arrived in Whittier late on Tuesday evening but you would never know it by the amount of daylight. At 11:30 it was still very light. It had been getting dark later and later on the way up the inside passage but once we got to Whittier it was really pronounced. No one has managed to see darkness here. Even when the sun goes down it stay light. We all had trouble sleeping that night. We rode a bus into Whittier and from there up to a place named Talkeetna which was a very quirky little town. More about that in the next post because for some reason this is not letting me add any more pictures! The thing that Talkeetna is known for is as a place to do one of two things: catch a flightseeing plane to see Mount McKinley or to go climb it - which one do you thing we did!
11,000 feet from a very small plane! Scarey!
We were all amazed by the glaciers that flow down the mountains. Here is one that flows for 45 miles!
Can you imagine climbing this!
