Day 20 - Seward and Kenai



Today we visited the Kenai Fjords in Seward; up until 1998 folks could touch the Exit Glacier (great name, huh? it is melting into Resurrection River, if you like an Existential chuckle), but it has receded further and is currently too dangerous to approach within two yards or so. Maynard tried to capture the blue ice of the glacier in this pic. We continued to the city of Kenai which isn't as impressive as I'd hoped; fortunately, some miles out of the way (in an RV turnaround), we found Kenai Brewery. While the owner gave Maynard tastings of his different brews, the local moose mom came by with her calf. That, a good Greek restaurant, and a bald eagle nesting in a tree near our cabin have cheered Maynard immensely.
