Well, we made it to Juneau. Cars, cruise ships and people abound. Makes us realize just how unconnected we really were. Juneau is a pretty city but overrun with cruise ships and tourists. The number of bald eagles here is amazing too.

We have a day and a half here in which we plan to have some fun, chores, and provision. The girls went off right after docking into town to explore a bit while we settled things aboard.
We took a taxi to Mendenhall Glacier. How could we be in Juneau and not go there. It was packed with people but still a beautiful sight.

After our quick trip to the glacier, the girls went up the Mount Roberts Tramway for a hike at the top but the timing was off and it started pouring rain up there and visibility was poor.
We had many trips to town for groceries and got our laundry done. Steve changed engine oil and filters, cleaned the sea strainers, and attended to some other routine maintenance. We are planning for another one to two weeks without a real town. We have a general idea of our way south in this area after Glacier Bay and it does not include a stop back to Juneau.

Finally we say goodbye to Ayla and Bekka as they head back to Colorado. It's been fun having them onboard, we had lots of laughs, playing games, and adventures. It is now just our immediate family headed next to Glacier Bay for a week. We will be out of cell and communication again for some amount of time, undetermined.
