We entered this slightly upscale souvenir shop with a jewelry counter (they all seemed to have them…apparently jewelry makes a great souvenir, and I am not talking about moose shaped charm bracelets either! Although I am sure they could be found too…I am waiting for our credit card bill to arrive…). The guy behind the counter saw my camera and started in with “Are you a photographer? Can you take my picture?” So I did. As we wandered on I heard him saying to another clerk “He DID take my picture!!!”. Now he is spread all over the Internet! Or at least the little bit protruding from Barrowroad…
This is a lifeboat on another cruise ship that was docked in Juneau. All the ships seem to have about the same lifeboats. I think if a guy could get one of these hulls and tops moderately cheap, he’d have the makings of a really nice house boat!
There is one highway to the ships from downtown, and it was full.
Outside of one of the many, many Tee Shirt shops. Not our only bear sighting, however!
Leslee spotted this crane under a dock.
And of course we had a short delay while the flowers were documented.
Once back on board we felt much like this, after the time on the boat Whale Watching, lunch at the Red Dog Saloon, the crowd downtown, and the walk back.
A good view of Juneau, the ship docked behind us and the one anchored in the harbour. You can see the lifeboat doing ferry duty. Just behind the left hand ship is a bridge over the canal Juneau sits on. From here you have to backtrack a couple miles to the main channel before heading north again.

Here is the whole Juneau Harbour.

And so ends our “Whale” of a day in the capital of Alsaka!
