This and the next 4 pictures are views from our room.
		There were shops and flowers below our  room.   The tulips were just blooming.
View from the dock, where we're waiting to board.  Betty is on the left side of the dock looking impatient. We took the Kenai Ford National Park 11:30AM tour.  For more info, see http://www.alaskaheritagetours.com/seward-information.html	On the previous day I found the only patch of ice in Seward while at the Ididaride place, and severely sprained my foot.  I was able to visit the hospital and get x-rayed, a foot support, and crutches before our 11:30AM departure.	Nobody we know ... just a view of the harbor.
Departing Seward on the boat tour.	The first wildlife encountered ... a curious sea otter.	Mountain goat.  One needs a telephoto lens for Alaska tours, as it's rare that one get real close.  Need a telephoto lens.
An Orca pod.  The mist in the center is one spouting.	An Orca with a "FreeWilly" style fin.	The fin of an Orca in center.
Another Orca spouting.	Another fin.	Distant view of seals.
Panaramic view from boat.	Humpback whale	Close up view.
	Tail fin of a hump back.	Black bear in the center of the picture.
The boat maneuvered closer for a better view.  Just his head, ears, and back can be seen..	This is how the tour boat looks inside. The rest of the passengers are outside for better viewing.  I'm protecting my painful foot.	We finally reach the tidal glacier.  We never got close, so it was difficult to judge its size.   I don't recall exactly what the captain announced, but I remembered that by comparison, our boat would look tiny beside it.
While floating to the glacier, someone spotted a bear on the nearby slope.	Betty viewing the bear.	The bear about to complete his trek across a rock slide.
As we approached the glacier, the captain ordered silence so we could hear the glacier's sounds.	We could hear loud cracks, roars, slides, and splashes.  In fact, it sounded much like a lightning storm.	This made a long continuous roar.
