Alaska Fauna

We went whale watching in Juneau. Went out on a boat that guarantees you will see a whale or they give you $100 of your fee back. They claim to never have had to pay the $100 in 11 years of business. Well, we weren't the first ones to get the bucks either. I'd say we saw five or six whales. Some law somewhere says that boats can't follow one of these animals for more than 30 minutes. So, what happens is that one boat tracks it for 30 minutes than another boat picks up just after that. Oh well. The law is supposed to keep from stressing the animals, but it probably just makes it last longer.

Not only did we see whales on the outing, but we saw sea lions and eagles. In fact, I bet we saw 6 or 7 eagles in the bus on the way to the whale watching place. They're just all over the place.
