find each others light

3 on the TM and 3 outside on the deck of the ship. It's easier to run at sea level. Well, I was running at a 7.0 and it didn't feel hard like it does at home. What was harder about the run was on the TM I was getting more of a core workout than usual trying to keep from falling off the TM as I went side to side with the ship. I don't know who said you can't feel the ship moving on a cruise but I certainly felt it on this one.

All outside on the deck of the ship. Felt great! good to get fresh air. I don't like feeling cooped up inside with 1900 people.

30 minutes hike and walking today. We went humpback whale watching in Juneau. According to our guide we were able to witness a rare site with these whales that were bubble net feeding. They would all jump out of the water with their mouths open catching and eating all the fish they had fooled. They make a bunch of bubbles and fool the fish into thinking they're caught in a net so they don't swim away and they come up and eat them. There was also a young whale that kept breeching but we had a hard time getting it on tape cause it happened so quick. He would come shooting out of the water and do a little twist. It was amazing! We saw some seals laying around on a buoy too.

After whale watching we went to the Mendenhall glacier and went on a hike. It was a huge glacier and we walked to a huge waterfall. It was raining. This place was gorgeous! Looked like the garden of Eden might have I imagine.

Walked several miles around Sitka, Alaska! Saw lots of eagles and totem poles. Beautiful, lush green forest everywhere! Raining. Went to a Raptor reserve and saw eagles, owls, hawks and a falcon close up. Some were injured and not able to fly. Some were being nursed back to health to be reintroduced into the wild. It was cool.

It was pouring rain and freezing cold in Ketchikan, Alaska but still beautiful. We hoped to see a bear on our tour but didn't. I wanted to go on the zip line but it was too cold and rainy. Lame.

All done on the TM. It was stormy and Jeff fell off his TM. It was hard to stay on but I found that the faster I ran, the easier it was. I watched some movie on TNT called Invasion with Nicole Kidman.

Ended our cruise in Victoria, British Columbia. Went to Butchart Gardens. Amazing, beautiful place! We only had a few hours and most of them were in the dark.

We got home last night and I feel like I'm still on the boat.

I'm not even getting on the scale cause I'm sure I'll just chuck it against the wall. Jeff apparently weighed himself and told me he didn't gain any weight. Jerk.

There was a funny magician/comedian on board named Leo. We went to two of his shows and another one he did with some others comedians. He was hilarious and the best entertainment on the ship. He reminded me of Scott Smith. Kind of looked like him.

I had fun but I'm glad I'm home.
