Friday night after the apt search, a friend and I from work ate dinner at a place called Humpy’s. It is supposedly the best seafood place in town and has a good atmosphere. We got there around 7, and it was already packed. I ordered plank salmon, which is salmon broiled on a plank of wood and covered in a creamy sauce. The wood adds flavor to the salmon. It was very good, and fresh. After dinner, I dropped off my friend at the hotel, and then headed south of town towards the bay and plenty of beautiful mountains. It was about 10:30 PM by the time I reached a suitable photo-op, yet it was still light outside. The first picture below is my favorite picture of the bunch. It was taken from Beluga Point, named because at the right time of the year, you can see Beluga Whales swimming up the bay following the Salmon. Beluga Whales are white and easily seen from a distance. I did not see any whales though :( . The short trip south of town got me excited for the trip I would take the next day. I still wasn’t sure what I would do the next day, so I did some research……I talked to the front desk attendant at the hotel. Within 2-3 hours of town, there were 3 different touristy cities. I decided on the closest of the 3, named Whittier, since it was supposed to be the most beautiful and least touristy. The options in Whittier range from taking a “cruise” in the bay to see 10 different glaciers and hopefully some wildlife (otters, sea lions, and even whales) to hiking the area to see flowing streams from melting snow and even glaciers.
Plank Salmon!!!I've already taken one bite :)
Beluga Point at 11 PM, no whales
Can you believe it's still light?
