Wednesday, September 9

Early rising today; landed in Skagway before 7am local time.  Need to meet excursion at 8 for our White Pass and Yukon train ride.  Posted lots of pics last night from our whale watching tour; the sea lions and eagles were lagniappe.  Community coffee on the balcony is the norm now.  More later tonight when we return from our day ashore.

It’s 5 pm-ish now.   We did the train thing and it was a good thing.  We have yet to see what kind of pics we got, as all on the train were through a window.  Access to “outside” the train car was possible but not really … desirable, so we took what we could get.  We will remember what we saw (spectacular in many cases) and we can always get some pics of the highlight points.  I’m sure that we have those that we wanted for personal “documentation.”  Anyway, after the three hour train ride we walked around and ate lunch in Skagway.  After about three more hours we came back to the boat … and crashed.  I think that early rising, time changes, and walking more than we are used to caught up with us.  A siesta and we are once again cognizant.  I suspect that it will be a later night for us this evening than typical but that remains to be seen.

Now to review today’s pics.  Expecting to post something to Smugmug soon!
