Our second port stop was the capital, Juneau. We walked around town for a short bit while Dad and Alberto went and got the rental cars so we could explore more. Juneau is a VERY hilly city (though you can't tell from the picture) and I'm glad we didn't run the marathon there!!
We drove on over to the Mendenhall Glacier. We ended up going for another long hike to see if we could get closer. Unfortunately the river had flooded over the trail and it was impassable, but it was fun and there were some nice views and nature-ness.
Afterward we also visited the Shrine of St. Therese, which was a neat little retreat out in the middle of nowhere and on the water.
That night was one of the formal dinner nights on the cruise, so we had a nice meal (not that the others weren't nice...)
