We drove to Girdwood Bakery, as suggested by friends, and bought $35.00 worth of Yummy pastries. The owner is from Russia, he has been at this bakery for 25 years. He was very kind and generous. His son and daughter work there with him.
W then drove to a camp ground in Portage National Park. We drove thru a tunnel, Whittier Tunnel. It is 2 1/2 miles of solid rock. It is like they took a drill and drilled a circle right down the middle and placed a few lights along the way. The train also goes thru it. It is a ONE WAY, skinny tunnel. You go in to the town Whittier one the half hour and you come back from the town on the hour. They close it down at 11 pm each night. Wittier is a beautiful little harbor, deep sea, never freezes harbor. They have cruises that go out to the glaciers but you can see the glaciers along the road. Some of these glacier pictures are from our camp ground as we cooked breakfast!
We went to a visitors center and there are some pictures from there. Many Asians were on a tour bus at this center, they were fascinated with the moose "call" they had on display.
We are now on our way to Seward. There the ONE thing I want to do is ride the dog sleds on an iceberg! I can't wait!

You want to ride the dog sleds on an iceberg? Icebergs float in the Ocean. I hope they didn't let you do that.
