6/15/13 Skagway

      

We had an early breakfast and then went into town to do a bit of shopping.  The town is quite small so we had an easy walk all around.  The most interesting building is sided completely in driftwood (see photos).  We saw more totems here than we have been seeing.  Some of them are quite intricate.  We stopped at the library to use their free wi-fi for posting the blog.  I was able to get 2 days on, but the reception got funky and I was not able to get yesterday’s posted. We walked back to the ship for lunch.  Dave took a nap and I read for a bit and then I walked back into town.  I had forgotten to bring a Father’s Day card with me for tomorrow.  I didn’t find a card specifically for Father’s Day, but I did find a perfect pun card for Dave.  It says “Did Juneau I love you?”  - the perfect card!  Kelly was on another adventure today.  She had a helicopter ride to a glacier and then was able to ride and drive a dog sled.  She said she had a wonderful time and took some cute pictures of the pups.  We had another wonderful dinner – surf and turf tonight and then went to see an illusion show.  We enjoyed the show and then walked to the other end of the ship to watch the pianist again.  The ship was beginning to move so we went out on deck and watch the ship leave Skagway.  The mountains were beautiful, the sun was low in the sky, and the moon was out.  It was still pleasant and warm at 9:30 at night.  We have been so incredibly lucky with the weather!  We have had above average temperatures and mostly sunny days.  It is supposed to be colder in Juneau so we will see what tomorrow brings.
