Alaska Part 2: "Two if by Sea

Now we are on the Coral Princess Cruise Ship

                                                       

We boarded the ship 

from Whittier

                                                                      This is the beautiful center of the cruise ship

We had a room w/a balcony

Check out that view!

Some of the cities we visited:

Canned Salmon Capital of the world and

Home to the largest collection of totem poles

 

Skagway 

Alaska's first incorporated

city and Gateway to the

Klondike Gold Rush of 1898

Whale Watching Tour Boat

Whale Tail

A group of whales is called a pod or a gam.

Lucky us -

We got to observe a pod of  9 humpback whales

"Bubble Netting" Bubble netting is a cooperative

feeding method used by the humpbacks.

The whales continuously circle around a

school of fish while one dives down under

the fish and exhales through its blowhole

forcing the fish up ward trapping them

in the net of bubbles. Dinner is served!
