Off to Hubbard!
(I wrote this post yesterday, so we’ve been there already and never before has a piece of ice been so incredible!)
First Day at Sea
We’re just about to reach the Hubbard Glacier (which, I read, is surrounded by *insert ominous noise here* ICEBERGS) Just wanted to post a couple pictures from the last couple days. Yesterday, we took the Alaska railroad from Anchorage to Seward, and the 4 hour trip was GORGEOUS. We boarded our boat in Seward and were so tired we decided to just hang around the boat for the rest of the day.
Here’s a couple pics:

Oh, and we do get TV here on the boat - what is up with McCain choosing the Governor of Alaska?!?! That was totally out of nowhere. I hope they bring back Tina Fey on SNL to impersonate her - they look exactly alike!
It’s funny that you happen to be there when the announcerment was made. You should interview some of the locals!
Actually, our tour bus driver had said that in town there are WAY more “Obama” bumper stickers than McCain stickers. Also, some people feel a little betrayed by Palin for leaving their state…
Yeah, isn’t it weird? I walked out into the common area on my campus, looked at the television when the announcement was being made, and just gaped. It makes no sense at all.
Did you see Mother Hubbard? Lol! Ben looks like he is having a ball! The pics are great!!
