I don’t
know if anyone else has written about a free day, but we’re going to do
it. You might guess that this would be
the first sunny day since we arrived in Seward, even though 62 degrees is not
very warm.

We had a sort of usual day
getting up and having breakfast, doing everything a little slower.
Naturally, the early birds were already at
the laundry so we had to wait a little for the machines, and since we had a lot
to do, as did others, and we took the whole morning to do it.

Since it was a dry day we took the
opportunity of drying out the awning on the coach.
Then the other things that had to be done,
like vacuuming were also done in the morning.

After lunch Jesse Medeiros asked if we would like to go to Exit
Glacier.
We quickly accepted.
We left in time to get to the 2:00 PM nature
walk. Our guide was a volunteer who is in the area because he has grandchildren
nearby.
New York was his home, but he
has learned much about the various plants, animals and glacial details.
The glacier is notable for how much it has
receded in the last 190 years plus. The
big message is that we must all do our part about global warming. However, I have not found anyone who can
explain why they could raise wheat in Greenland in 1000 AD, but not now.

The fishermen (a few guys from our group) were gone the whole day. Their luck was OK but I guess they would like
to have caught more salmon. What they
were amazed at was the guides took big filets from the salmon, but they
probably threw more back than they kept.
The day was ended by a few stalwarts playing cards.
