Haines Alaska

Summer. It`s a very busy time indeed. It`s my turn to update the blog and I`m way overdue. Let`s start with our weekend in Haines. We went to fish for salmon, and no, I don`t have an amazing picture of us with a trophy salmon, but we had lots of fun anyway. We did have some success fishing while competing with the seals in the river and watching the eagles dropping in for a kill. That place is very alive with marine and wildlife and that`s without the bears. Luckily, we didn`t have to move aside for any bears as they were still in the forest waiting for the peak of the salmon run. I lost the camera and all the fishing gear for a while and the warden had to look at the pictures to find us. Thanks guy. We left Haines on a timeline to make a dinner date which didn`t work at all. On that sunday, we fished in the morning, hiked at the summit (1080 metres), found a good sliding spot, and swam in a river at million dollar falls. We were late for dinner but still managed to sqweeze in some good times with Sandra and Phillip. pics: Isa sliding with sandals, kids at summit, Ani in Tahanne river, kids with dolly varden(me in background).
