Seward!

We had a gorgeous flight down today from Anchorage. Clear skies and a smooth ride made for great glacier viewing. We started out of Anchorage and returned the way we came slowly climbing up this valley, then a right turn and a slow climb to 7,000' AGL and come up on the top the glacier, the next few moments are amazing as you fly down (down as in to the end and down in altitude) the glacier that spills out into a river of glacier water flowing into the ocean. Flying with this scenery is amazing, you transition from ragged peaks and glaciers to lush pine forest on extremely steep slopes that go right into blue ocean water. The colors and shapes of the mountains would remind you of the South Pacific.

We are now in Seward where the airport elevation is about 22' MSL. Our hotel is on the ocean, but none of us have water views. Tonight we have a group dinner at 7:30 at a resturant that is an art gallery and Thai food that serves American also...I thought it was a little funny sounding myself. Tomorrow Glacier Tour!
