Juneau Alaska
This was another beautiful sunny day. We did not have tour planned for today, we went off on our own.
Because we were not in a hurry we had breakfast in the dining room. For the very first time we were alone at the table. It was different not to be meeting new people, but breakfast was great as usual. Then we left the ship and began our walk down town. There is a wonderful new walkway all along the waters edge. It is just great for walking, wide and comfortable and scenic. This is a great improvement since our last visit.
We went to the Red Dog Saloon and then we continued up the hill to visit the Alaska Capital building. We just happened to learn that they gave tours. It was a great tour and now we can say that we have toured all of the capital buildings on the US west coast. We walked back to the ship with a lot of store stops along the way.
By the time we had returned to the ship we had walked for over three hours and my blood sugar was down to 4.6. We went upstairs to lunch because I wanted to eat as soon as possible, and we were so thirsty.
After lunch we came back here and I had a nop and Ken went to get some sun.
We got ready for dinner and down we went. It was a fun dinner, this is a great group. After dinner all eight of us went together to the big production show “I’ve got the music”. It was great and we all sang alone and clapped and just had fun.
After the show was over Penny and Glen and Ken and I went to Skywalkers and had a Mai tai while we enjoyed the sail away views. We had a great visit and what a nice way to end the day.
