Wednesday June 6th was our first day in Skagway. We were in no rush this morning because our train ride is not scheduled until 12:45. We had breakfast and just were lazy until it was time to disembark. We are to board the train from the depot down town so it meant a walk of a mile or so. We have been climbing stairs and walking so much that our calf muscles are beginning to object. But again we have lucked out and it is a very nice day. There is no rain and no wind and the temperature is actually quite pleasant. As usual the little village was overrun with cruisers. There are 4 big ships in town and it is almost standing room only down town. Because of the time of departure there is no time for lunch so my kettle corn with have to do. You are not allowed to remove food from the ship so we walk around to look for a piece of fruit to eat on the train. We have no luck. There are jewelry stores everywhere but no sign of a piece of fruit. We walk back to the depot and wait for the train. Before long we find Wayne and Carol and we join them in line. When it is time to board we luck out and accidently choose a car designed for wheel chairs. There are a total of 12 people in the entire car so we each have our own bench seat and there is lots of room to move from side to side to take amazing pictures. The journey is three hours of dizzying views and Wows. I took so many pictures!! Ken bought a souvenir cap but I resisted. When we pulled into the depot Wayne and Carol went to shop and Ken and I headed back to the ship. It was 4:30 so there was not a lot of time to get ready for 5:30 dining. My dry cleaning is back in the room, hung and ready to wear again. So far I have had my coat and dress as well as my white blazer cleaned. I love the laundry service, As usual we had a great time at dinner. We laugh and visit and it is such a pleasant experience. We were called to see if we wanted to keep the same dining arrangements for the second leg and we said yes. These people are so nice. Scallops were on the menu tonight and they were great, nice big sea scallops. After dinner we met Wayne and Carol at a photo location. They now have an arrangement where you get dressed up in Gold Rush era costumes to get pictures taken and Carol wants us to do a group picture. The shoot goes well and I think the pictures will be cute. The evening show starred an illusionist and as usual he left us spell bound, wondering how in the heck he did that. After the show we got a glass of ice tea and called it a night. Tomorrow is the glaciers!!
