July 30


What a day! We were up early early to get on the ferry, but not early enough to arrive before hordes of other passengers. Most of them were folks who had come for a weekend at the fair and they were going home to Juneau, Wrangell or Petersburg. I always think of the ferry as a great way to see the inside passage as a tourist, but it actually serves as everyday transportation for the local residents. 

We got all settled in for our long ride in our palatial accommodation and promptly fell asleep. Woke up and spent most of the day reading. We took a break for lunch in the cafeteria - bowls of chili and chowder with a big salad on the side. Very good! Now that my expectations of ferry food are updated, I’m actually impressed. We spent about an hour in the lounge as the ferry docked in Juneau  but our books were calling to us and the fog outside made scenery watching less than ideal. 

Speaking of fog, it’s been around all day in various forms. Most of it dense. These pictures were taken over a thirty minute period. 



Sandwiches from our little fridge for dinner.

Buenas noches!
