Alaska 2010

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Mark Twain

Late nights make for late mornings…I need to break the cycle.

In the end, the LuLu Belle boat trip was a bit of a disappointment. Here’s a synopsis.

-Sea Otters, cool

-Puffins, only saw flying, not a great look.

-Humpback whales, ok but the Capt made no attempt to produce a “great” view. Kept his distance, which was far too great in my opinion. Whale watch out of Provincetown, Ma WAY better, same kind of whales too.

-Ice bergs….eh, cool for about 5 minutes. Get a glass of ice and fill it with water and use your imagination.

-Rained almost the whole time (nobody’s fault)

-The Captain was well, he had this way of speaking where he’d continuously decrease the volume of his sentence the longer it went on…..like.

The most important thing you need to know about Alaska is……………..”

You were like what?? What’d he say??

I’d say the overall trip was pretty lousy……I did get a free popcorn though.

Back to the restaurant for a double order of tots, watched a little bear mayhem at Allison Point again and called it a day.
