Today we woke up to sun! What a difference a little blue sky did for our morale. We have been struggling with the constant gray weather since we arrived in Anchorage. But today was glorious.
We are shifting over to Seward today which was a highlight of the last trip. On the way out of town we stopped at an overlook of Homer which we had passed the last three times because it was socked in. This time it was quite sensational and Ton got some good pictures.
Driving over to Seward we had views of a group of off shore volcanoes and several clear views of Mt. Denali. For the first time Alaska was living up to our memories from seven years ago.
As we came into Seward we stopped at Exit Glacier. We read that the glacier had retreated 1000 feet in the last 10 years, so we were curious about how it would compare to our memories. It had definitely moved back and the face had shrunk quite a bit.
