AK day two

We woke up early and went to breakfast at peggy's - they're famous for their pies, and I had some blueberry pancackes. Then we started driving to Valdez, a 6 hr drive, so we stopped at an indian museum thing, then went to a supermarket and got lunch food and snack food for our excursion. We stopped at a gold mine that was used before WWII and then we had lunch. James and I decided to hike up this trail to the lake at the top, there was no one else there, and it was really cool. Then some other people showed up, and they were originally from TX but they lived in Alaska now. Then we drove on to the glacier, we watched "the island" on the drive. We walked around on the glacier then had dinner at the long rifle lodge that had a nice panoramic view of the glacier. There were some strange accented people in the room with us so we asked where they were from. My parents thought france, or maybe canada becuase they had good english, but they were from mother russia. So we went back on the road and then started watching "she's the man" a pretty good movie that james and my mom and I watched. It made me miss tara, not just because it was a love story in disguise, literally, the actress amanda bynes looks like Tara, and that made it that much harder to watch without my boo. Then we finally got to valdez at 10:45 at night. We passed some cool waterfalls on the way here, and there were lots of mountains and lots of water, everywhere! I'm having fun, and tomorrow at 6:30am we're getting up and going to the ferry and heading back toward anchorage. I need some sleep!
