CRUSING THE INSIDE PASSAGE:
SUMMER VACATION 2001
By: Rice & Gerry
Date: 7/21/01

This is where we began, docked at Canada Place.	The view outside our balcony. We were Starboard side, I think.	The ship sailed at a pretty brisk pace through the Inside Passage.

A view from the top. Cloudy day, 'twas.	Skies have cleared. You can see the little tug boat behind us.	A distant view of the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.

A big, close-up look at the glacier. Dang, it looked filthy. But it's only sediment, I think.	A little waterfall complementing the Glacier on the side.	I took this from the tram on the way to the top of Mount Roberts. That's the Infinity!

A shot from the top of the mountain. You're looking South, I think.	Now you're looking North. Notice why it's called the Inside Passage.	One last shot. This time with some greenery in the foreground.

An upclose pic of our cruise ship. With a nice mountain backdrop.	The rickity train we took at Skagway. It was $94 per person!	A shot from the train. Lots of small streams po pulate the mountain.

Another shot from the train. That black speck in the distance is our docked ship.	A view of our train in action. Toot, toot!	The quaint settlement of Skagway. Even has an online cafe and an outlet store.

This was about as dark as night got in Alaska. The sun sets at 11 p.m. and rises at 2 a.m.!!	Pretty snow-capped mountains were a dime a dozen.	Tilt your head sideways for this shot of the icy ocean.

That's me on a hot day. Gerry's behind the camera wearing shorts.	My only postcard-worthy photo. And it was taken behind a dusty window at Trellis, too!
