SKAGWAY

What a beautiful morning here is Skagway.  It is so pretty when the sun is shining.  The mountains have snow and the blue sky just is such a  beautiful backdrop for everything!  Today we have to go to town with the tenders.  There was a landslide that has left the hillside quite unstable, so they are having us disembark from the sea side of the ship and taking us in on the little boats.  Always a zoo, but that is the way we are able to go ashore.

Of course once again I made a bee line to the little Quilt Shop called Quilt Alaska.  I was able to find some things to spend money on.  I bought a couple of laser cut kits that I will enjoy doing.  

Didn't know that they are having a shop up here in Alaska, so the one I bought is of a fox that Is the design for the quilt shop Quilt Alaska.  It was really nice!  The other one I bought is of a puffin - although it is unlikely that I will be seeing puffins this trip - but I have seen them on other occasions!

Colleen and Nancy found a place to sit while I shopped.  They were very patient with me.

Other than my spending spree, there was no other money left in Skagway.  Tomorrow my wallet will have a rest as we are having a scenic cruising day.  Going up the Endicott Arm and to the Dawes Glacier.  I am happy to have a day at sea after two port days.

This evening we can get to see sled dog puppies in the main atrium or as they call it on this ship - the Piazza.  Awkward time though .. it is from 6:00 to 6:45.  It appears that there is no room left to interact with the puppies.  However, with all the littles on this ship, I sure hope they are able to get up and personal with the pups.

After dinner we will have some drinks and have fun in the Explorers Lounge again.  There are usually enough games to keep us entertained until bed time.  So tomorrow we will be up early to take in a full day of scenic cruising before our next port day.  

Talk later.
