A quick selection of snapshots from Juneau after we returned from our Whaling Expedition!
The World Famous (or Infamous):
And of course, the required swinging doors:
Inside it was a good fast lunch operation. This is in the loft.
(Nikon Coolpix L11, three shots stitched together in MS ICE)
Lots of people here…this is looking up at the loft. It was just about sitting room only when we arrived.
A look down from the loft. There were only three cruise ships in town; what would it be like if all eight that could fit were there at once? The piano player was very good, with all the old Alaska/frontier songs. When I first heard the selections, I was sure it was a recording. It wasn’t!
Wayatt Earp came through and checked his gun with the US Marshall as required; he couldn’t get it back when he left because the office wasn’t open yet. Bureaucrats.
What do you want to bet this wasn’t the only one he had with him? {!-{>
Once out in the sunlight again, what did I see (how could anyone miss it???) but the brightest yellow hot rod!
And a really nice 1800 Gold Wing Trike…
And even a couple of nice HarleyDavidsonTheBests as my GrandDad LA once told me my dear Pop called them.
Of course, then I turned around, looking down the main commercial street in Juneau, and what do I see but the Yellow Hot Rod again! Well, there are only about 23 miles of highway in Juneau or such: you get here by air or sea only! So “cruisin’ the drag” becomes “cruisin’ the whole highway system” by default. Our cruise ship, the Island Princess, is at the end of the street.
Looking the other way we see:
The Governor’s Mansion and State Capital are up the street. We saw them briefly from the bus ride to the Whale Watching, but I didn’t get to photograph them. Sarah P. wasn’t there anyway.
