Bartlett Cove






We settled into the Glacier Bay Lodge for three days. The weather was gray, though there always seemed to be some distant peaks poking through the clouds to tease us. D was appalled to find there was no TV - not in the room, not even in the common area - but he checked his fantasy teams from the computer in the lodge when he could and was easily calmed with beef and chocolate.

D&I kayaked for a couple of hours one day and we all took the boat tour on another. But mainly we relaxed. I read John Muir's accounts of Glacier Bay. His lodgings weren't quite so nice, but he camped where he could hear the glaciers calving and it seemed like he was usually up in the middle of the night tromping around the mountainns above the ice anyways.
