Slept in today – what a treat. Bill and I decided to take a walk … 7 miles later!! We were walking on a trail and saw a black bear about 20 feet in front of us. Got this picture before he turned away. We decided NOT to go down that trail any more.It was time for the glacier ride. We rode on the LuLuBelle.
The captain gave a 
running commentary on life in Valdez. He really knew his boat. He maneuvered it into spots that I didn’t think a boat could go. On the way to the glacier, we saw puffins, humpback whales, dophns, sea otters, and tons of sea lions.Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better,
we came to the Columbia glacier. The Columbia Glacier is a glacier in Prince William Sound on the south coast of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world, and has been retreating since the early 1980s. The water was 70 meters deep and the icebergs weren't moving because they were stuck on the bottom.

Since the boat ride took 6 hours, we didn't get in to port until 9 p.m. Long day but it was the most interesting boat ride we've taken in a long time.
