Haines AK

After the long ferry ride it was a relief to just sleep in and explore the town of Haines without any pressure.  It was still raining lightly when we had lunch at the restaurant next to the campground.  After lunch we chose to do an indoor activity and visited the American Bald Eagle Foundation.  The Foundation is a raptor center where injured birds of prey are rehabilitated.  The center has a few birds (including two bald eagles) that are permanent residents and were on display with their handlers.  To educate the visitors, many local fauna were displayed as taxidermy mounts.  Of course Dave had to get up close and personal with the moose.  The last two pictures are the view from our RV.  We are parked facing the Haines harbor.  So far we have seen two large cruise ships making their way from Skagway toward Juneau.
