Juneau

Yesterday, Tuesday, we took the city bus into downtown Juneau to see the sights. Including the thousands of cruise ship passengers in for the day and the dozens , maybe hundreds, of gift shops and jewelry shops that are here to separate them from their money.
There were 4 cruise ships at the dock and as we had lunch we watched as one left and another from the same company took it's place at the dock. There couldn't have been 15 minutes elapse between one slipping out and it's replacement slipping into the  same dock space.

A conveyor belt of tourists!!

This is a photo of a mural on the street, we tried to photograph the actual mural but could not find a clear space between tourists and traffic

Beautiful, well trained dogs pose for the tourists

Today, Wednesday, we were going to leave for Glacier Bay today but waited for a visit from a mechanic/electrician to look at our ongoing engine alarm problem. Should just have left as planned as it turned out to be the nicest, warmest, sunniest day so far this summer AND the tradesman wasn't much help anyway.

Off in the morning and possibly no phone or internet for a while. Will post when I can.
