Today we visited Skagway. What a cute little town! They’ve done a great job to make it look like
early 1900’s, complete with a boardwalk and all.
We walked around for a bit and did our necessary shopping for a magnet. One building that fascinated me was this
one. The front is covered with over
7,000 pieces of drift wood.
The weather was not on our side for this. We didn’t go far before we ran into
snow. Normally we cruise to escape this
kind of weather. It was just wrong to
trade our 80 degree record-setting spring for all this snow! I can assure you we won’t visit Alaska in May
again. Brrrr, it was really cold up
there.
Once we reached the summit, which was in Canada, we took
the bus back. I’m sure this part of the
tour would be gorgeous in the summer when you could see all the lakes. All we saw was a whole lotta snow
instead. When we got down the mountain
further, we came to the sway bridge which spans a fault line. They’ve had to add 10 feet to it because the
abyss has expanded that much.
We stopped at an overlook for a chance to take a picture of
the ship. Here she is in all her glory…
Back on board, a nice hot shower was a great way to warm up
again.
Stay tuned…
