We were not long in the air and the scene changed from dense forests to sparsely covered rocky hills.
                                                             Laura, (Dan’s cousin,) Gita, Dan and 
Victor banked the plane and flew                    Friends at the Mendenhall Glacier. alongside the mountain-side to spot
mountain goats and dall sheep.  Sure enough, we soon spotted quite a few.
They scattered at the plane's approach.  My mother, who was a lover of
animals, was thrilled to see them.

We soared over dramatic glacier spires and lakes, brilliant blue
crevasses and spectacular peaks.  We could not get enough of it.  It
was an unforgettable experience.  During our descent Victor flew us
over Auk Bay and circled over T-harbor where we used to live.

After this unforgettable experience, my mother treated Victor to a
fabulous dinner at our restaurant.
