well, ours is in litres, and it's about $1.11 per litre.....how many litres are in a gallon? not sure, but the american dollar is about equal to the canadian, so, if you can figure out the conversion....,or i guess i could look it up.

On a different trip, I toured the Canadian Rockies and then boarded a ship out of Vancouver and traveled the Alaskan inner passage. Six years and a lot of destinations later, I recall it as one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. Do go if you can! I took the photo below while standing on a Canadian glacier.

yes, you're right .....it's a beautiful place to see. i used to be a camp leader at a youth resort in the princess louisianna inlet, which was also travelled by boat, and have seen many glaciers very close up. remarkable and breathtaking.

One of the best experiences I have had was on the Alaska trip when we bundled up and canoed on a glacial lake right up close to a glacier. It was magnificent (if freezing)!

yes. when you're that close to one, you can see straight down into the water, and just how far it goes down. facinating!

I appreciate the recommendations, I definitely hope to go. Nice and sunny here today, went jogging this morning. Temps in the 60's. Had a late night last night with the election and all, so I guess this old man will take a nap this afternoon.
