The first place we visit is Juneau's gardens and the Tongass Rain Forest. The Tongass is the largest temperate rain forest in the world. And if you're confused about a rain forest existing in such a cold climate, don't worry. A lot of people only think about tropical rain forests. But a rain forest is defined by a certain amount of rain that must be received per year.
In this garden, they are using uprooted trees as what they call "flower towers". They're pretty cool.
We take a drive up a narrow road in the forest.
And at the top, there is a nice view.
After this, it is off to see the Mendenhall Glacier.
OMG SINGLE RAINBOW!!
See how dense the ice is (so blue!)
Snow melt fall.
That night on the ship...
Entertainment: MATT YEE!
Give me an OY!
Give me an OY! OY!
Give me an OY! OY! OY!
Mmmm....(this is the sound of drinking)
After this I wandered around the ship (approx 1 am.)
