New Class Pets!

So I am now responsible for two new creatures; thank goodness I don't have to teach them FCAT skills!  Check them out!!

The GRAND FINALE, PART I: Hubbard Glacier Boat Charter

Picture for those of you who are: soccer fans, college football fans, Formula 1 fans, concert/music fans, even American Idol fans.......  it's the last time you will see your favorite player or performer and the stage is set for an amazing performance: light show, pyrotechnics, an orchestra, amazing sound, amazing plays/tricks and theatrics........... your heart is racing and you can't stop smiling....... your senses are all in hyper-mode, like an idiot savant who can draw the whole Vatican City with only one helicopter sweep over the city or a person who has the ability to see a color when you say a word (called synethesia).......

THAT WAS MY LAST WEEK IN YAKUTAT, ALASKA!!

I couldn't believe my summer could get any better.... than I heard the roar of a glacier calving (falling) into the bay and see the endless spectrum of blue/green/gray/brown colors of the glacier over 100 meters (300 ft) above the sea floor!

And to see and hear a glacier calve.....  such an experience..... here's the shots below of that......

The noise sounded like thunder and it was so spectacular!

LOOK AT THESE COLORS!!!!!!!

It was such an amazing experience and check out the temperature!

The instrument is informing us that it is 38.5 degrees on the water temperature gauge! 

I could even see my breath while being outside on the deck!

I felt so small compared to this wall of ice, the terminus.  Gummy felt even smaller!
