Day 352. July 24, 2014. Prince William Sound

LOCATION:  Whittier, Alaska on Prince William Sound, in south central Alaska
WEATHER:  Nice. Highs in 60s

We said good-bye to our friends Daniel and Minnie, and drove north about 50 miles to Whittier.  It is a small port town on the Sound.  To get here, we went through North America's longest tunnel.  There are beautiful glaciers and waterfalls all around us.

Whittier doesn't have many amenities.  The campground is city-run, and is very basic.  There aren't even pit toilets, just "rent-a-cans".  There is a big rig in the campground with the vanity license plate "PALIN".  I wonder......

We watched some ferries come in and walked along the boardwalk.  Very nice.

We went to a cute waterfront restaurant for dinner.  We had chowder, halibut and shrimp, all from here in the Sound.
