Episode 8: Exploring Valdez by Land & Water

It might be the first time, but it certainly won't be that last that an episode is just a bit late. I'm sorry! To be honest, I'm surprised I've kept it up this long! The next few months hold a lot of work between photography workshops and travel, but I promise to do my best to keep up with them. Being able to share our adventures is part of our inspiration to go on them.

Enough of that, let's talk Valdez! Almost our entire time in Alaska so far has been overcast and rainy. We didn't get to see Denali, and rarely saw the sun. But finally we got a few sunny days in a town that never gets sunny days! This is another video you're going to want to watch until the end - we go on cruise to Columbia glacier. I could write about it, but I think this video does a much better job. Enjoy!
