&lt;p&gt;HAINES, ALASKA&lt;/p&gt;

I got the feeling that I had gone back in time and that this place was a quiet, peaceful place.&lt;/strong&gt;[/caption]&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Cruising in Glacier Bay, Alaska</title><link>/posts/cruising-in-glacier-bay-alaska/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/cruising-in-glacier-bay-alaska/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;The mountains are calling and I must go.&amp;rdquo; ~ John Muir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Glacier Bay National Park was one of the highlights of our Alaska visit.  It&amp;rsquo;s designated a World Heritage Site.  We were able to see tidewater glaciers, get close up to inlets carved by the ice, and just bask in the silence and the peace of this wilderness experience.  It&amp;rsquo;s easy to become camera-happy here and take the same or similar views over and over again.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
