Jan 31st, 2020 Day 28 of 128

It’s official.  We have 100 days left on our trip.  What a fabulous one it was.  We started our morning at 3:30am Antarctica time.  The sun was not even up yet, but it was not dark outside.  It is a weird phenomenon here.  The sun never really sets this time of year.  I went outside on the deck of the ship to get some pictures of the sun rising and as I did, a humpback whale cruised along side and paused in front of me to take a deep breath.  A sort of a hello just for me as I was the only out there.  It was just the peak start to a day that held that pinnacle all day. We saw more whales then I can count, another penguin colony, icebergs, fjords, ice fields and beauty beyond what words can describe.  I will include as many pictures as I can.  For those of you following on a map, today’s geographical points were Neumayer Channel, Paradise Harbor, and Wilhelmina Bay.  I ask that you just enjoy them all.  Today marks the day four years ago that my beloved Don started his path to being diagnosed with cancer and passing away from this earth.  But today he was in heaven, smiling down on us, sending us signs from above and reminding us to give thanks for everything he blessed us with.  Enjoy all these photos.  Love and Hugs!!
