Our first stop on the cruise was in Juneau, AK. It is a gorgeous town, complete with mountains, clouds, glaciers, and... RAIN. It started sprinkling the morning we arrived, and pretty much drizzled all day. But, that didn't stop us!!
We went to the Mendenhall Glacier and the wildlife area close to it, which is home to several bears. We saw a bear in a tree and more importantly, bear poop. :)
lots of huge salmon swimming upstream
there was a porcupine in a tree over us

Then we headed to a salmon bake on the side of a mountain... it was nestled in a beautiful setting!
There was a bear in the tree there, too...
We ate underneath a covered area, which was nice, since it was still sprinkling outside.
It was a delicious meal: wood fired salmon with a brown sugar glaze, baked beans, cheesy potatoes, Caesar salad, and corn bread. Yum!
It was a great day in Alaska's capital city!
