BTW Its pronounced Jou-no
Wow wow wow - today in Juneau we went on a boat trip to see the whales - which we did. It was awesome to see the blowholes first and then other bits of the whale surface. We were so lucky cause we were so close and the whale was also in a very small sheltered bay so it was easy to see and also easy to stand on the boat to watch. The whale tail is cool - it is actually called the fluke. We did see a whale breach - but it was so quick we missed getting a photo of it. A breach is when they completely come out of the water. It was a big splash though.
On the boat trip back into the marina our boat and the other boat had porpoises leading us. They are fast and really hard to see and catch on camera, but my dad managed it. They are black and white like the Orca whale but smaller than a dolphin. It was cool watching them splash around having fun
On the same tour we also went on a bush walk to see the Mendenhall Glacier. It was big. There was also a waterfall close by it called Nugget Falls. You can see how big it is by the little people standing in front.
And there was a bald eagle at the Marina for us to see. We also saw one in captivity at Skagway so saw it up close. They are really really big birds.
