Alaskan Cruise, Monday, am, August 18, 2008

This morning we woke up to...a sunrise!!! Though it's a mostly cloudy morning, the sun peeks in and out.

I can see why people are so enthusiastic about an Alaskan cruise. The more I'm on the ship, the more this cruise gets into my soul. Even though we've not had the best of weather (and the water is getting a bit choppy again!) it's still been amazing. If it's this good with less than ideal weather, it must be jaw-dropping in good weather.

By the way, they did manage to get the 11 stranded passengers on board last night. You would have thought we were welcoming rock stars on to the ship as they boarded. Imagine almost 24 hours stranded on a glacier. I think they were able to stay where the sled dogs are sheltered. Don't have a lot of details but the folks seemed to be ok.

This afternoon we have a piano concert with all kinds of decadent chocolate desserts. Something for Jan (piano) and something for me (chocolate!)
