We discussed going to a Salmon Bake at a place that (on paper) reminded us of the Flying W Ranch in Colorado (with Salmon instead of steak), but ended up deciding to just walk around Juneau, figuring it was a capital city and there would be something to see/do. Unfortunately, there is not much to do in Juneau at 8 am....Like any other city that appreciates, but doesn't depend on, tourism, there were many stores and restaurants, but most were closed.
We did find a coffee shop
Some fudge
Some State Government buildings
A bear...
And a really cool staircase leading up to the governor's mansion and other sites.
Including this cool house that is "just a house"
We even picked up some gifts and requests for friends in Colorado...and then headed for the (slightly drier) ship.
As we re-boarded the boat we got to quote one of our running jokes---from Pirates of the Caribbean (the movies). Jack Sparrow says "It's the Pearl" a few times in his funny accent...and, look...it is the (Norwegian) Pearl..The Jewell's sister "following us!
The best part of Day 6 (Day 4? Whatever) came later, when we found ourselves sailing through a Glacier field!
We saw seals
and whales again (sorry, no pictures...they are fast)
and a boat bringing Alfonso, who missed the boat in Juneau and had to find his own transportation.
The Girl and her crew had a group photo taken...
A beautiful day!
