Alaska (Part 2)

While in Juneau, we took a tour of the city, saw the governor's mansion, did not get to see Sarah Palin, saw a glacier, a temperate rainforest, no wildlife, and opted to not ride a tram for $27/each. We learned a lot while there and had a great time...back to the ship for journey to our second port:
Skagway (tiny town-800 ppl-ish)
While in Skagway, we took an excursion to Haines, Alaska to ride some 4x4 mules and see amazing coutryside...(by the way...I expected to see a lot of native Alaskans on our tours as our guides...I think we had 1 or 2 who were actually from Alaska...the others were from Virginia, Utah, Seattle, either there for the summer working or moved there recently...huh.) Anyway, on the pictures.

Rained the whole day- we were SOAKED!!!!

Amazing views.....

tons of waterfalls

After our driving in the rain, we got some yummy food and nice hot drinks to thaw us out. :) Sweet!!

Then on to the thriving metropolis of Skagway to do some shopping/sightseeing
