We took the morning Fast Ferry to Skagway, arriving there in about 35 minutes. We were amazed that there were 5 cruise ships in port! Those of you who have been on Alaska cruises have probably been there. We enjoyed riding our bikes all around the outskirts of town. We especially enjoyed going to the Jewel Gardens and talking to a couple of local people who gave us the insider info and history of Skagway. We then took the White Pass & Yukon Railroad to the top of White Pass and finally, on the return trip, we saw a black bear! It was sitting so still that Denny thought it was staged! (“No, Denny, we are not on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland!”) Anyway, after fumbling with my camera, I was able to barely catch one shot of it.
We heard someone say today that Alaska is “drop dead gorgeous”. It just continues to amaze us how beautiful everything is. Besides that, the people welcome visitors in such a warm way.
