at seward day 2

we got up and quickly put together a short ocean kayaking outing. the kayaking place is right in back of where we are lodging. we just zoomed up the beach to a cool waterfall. it took about 3 hours but was a cool experience. then we went up to exit glacier and did the 4 mile hike up to the harding ice field. it was a fairly strenuous hike (gained 3100 ft) but we made 'er. it was a cool view up there. we were both too lazy to hike down to the actual ice...we thought it might take way too long. looking back, maybe we should have. would have been cool. after we got down, we did another short hike where we viewed the glacier from the bottom. all in all we hiked about 10 miles. we just got back and showered up and now were about to go pamper ourselves. i'm gonna take the lappy and hunt around for an open wireless connection. hopefully i'll get these last posts up. i've taken tons of pics and vids. so many that i had to switch to my 2nd 2 gb sd card.
