We headed out of Juneau on the slow boat ferry to Haines. Can I just say this was....by far the best 4 hours in Alaska! Party of 5 on the top deck enjoying not only beautiful sunny weather, but
warm weather, delicious margaritas and so much seafood...it was friggin' sweet! Haines was totally awesome and I can see why people never leave. It was packed full with writers, painters, sculpters, musicians, I'm sure there are some drifters n droolers and then me. I met this dude who has a cute little co-op gallery in the woods, and he lives across the bay and drives his
canoe to work.
Before I left for AK, everyone who had been used adjectives like majestic, tranquil, breathtaking, mesmerizing, yada yada. Yes, it was those things only because that's the closest words we have to describe this place. Just the level of wildlife I saw daily doesn't even come close to Montana or BC and the fact that you should be trained in bear attacks and expect encounters often and the sheer magnitude of the mountains that literally emerge, erupt and sky-rocket out of the water is so unbelievably impossible, you get caught staring. Alaska
is sick...in the best
sickest way and the lumberjacks are really amazing too, which I decided at the last minute to give it to ya. Here's the final fair pics too.
