Summer in Skagway


Today we got up relatively early so that we could get ready for our first disembarkation since we set sail 48 hours earlier.
We arrived in Skagway and as promised the weather was absolutely amazing.  Sunny, crisp and beautiful.  Skagway is a single street town that has mostly souvenir and jewelry shops.  It is a mining town with mega popularity in the summer and absolutely nothing to do in the winter.  According to the locals, most people that live in Skagway in the summer, run for their lives and hibernate in another city or state in the winter.
Upon our return to our ship we had dinner then headed to the "cafe" for an array of desserts and diet unfriendly treats.  After our caloric overdose we decided that working out at the gym was absolutely not a option we could decline.  We were able to work out at the gym with the best view ever.  Since the ship was still anchored, as we worked out we could see down into the marina and the little town of Skagway.  What a nice treat to make a not so pleasant activity something enjoyable.
Tomorrow we arrive in Juneau, hopefully we are as smitten as we were today.
