We walk in Juneau town and call our couchsurfing friend, Keith, who picks us up and takes us to the Mendenhall Glacier a mile out of town.
We get our first glimpse of the red salmon migrating upstream.
Then he takes us to a beautiful BIG Alaskan lake where we get another great view of the Mendenhall Glacier. We then go up to an old mining area that is now a park. The Juneau Mines which were right in town were the best producers of gold ever.
Keith shows us his house in town and drops us at the State Museum before we head back to the ship and sunset.
We see the salmon migrating up the stream. The stream is literally filled with fish, so many you could walk over them. Salmon only migrate once, as soon as they come into fresh water they start to deteriorate, after spawning they die. The birds are having a feast day though.
