Thank you again to all my family and friends for the birthday wishes. Since my birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, I celebrated the weekend before by going to Seward. I did not get to stay in Seward for the night but I did spend all day there by going on a cruise tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park. It was amazing. It was a 6 hour tour of natural coastal beauty and wildlife. I saw humpback whales, orka (killer whales), sea lions, sea otters, a bald eagle, and puffins (which by the way is one of my new favorite animals). Towards the middle of the tour, we got to see glaciers. The captain got close to the glacier, turned off the engine and we all stood outside listening to the glacier cracking and watching parts of it fall. It was very peaceful listening and watching glaciers. And its ice blue color is magnificent between the mountains. Not to mention that the glaciers themselves are enormous in size. The more and more I see Alaska, I cannot believe how vast this place is.
On Tuesday, I was traveling home from Seward. I wanted to go out that night with some friends, but I knew that wouldn't be a good idea since I had work the next day at 9am. So I went out Thursday night to one of the famous bars/restaurants here in Denali Park called The Salmon Bake. I asked all my friends to wear a bad/ugly/funny/cheesy tourist shirt in honor of my birthday. Mine was funny and unrelated to Alaska altogether, but it did say Alaska on it. I will post a picture soon. That night also happened to be two people's last night in Denali so there was a big party.
Also, a couple of days ago, my laptop died. Sad day :(
