Wednesday....May 20th....2009

Well...we are in Skagway, Alaska....weather..SUNNY!!!!!!

Yesterday....Juneau...weather...SUNNY!!!!!!

Linda is doing well....walking a lot....some nose bleeding....blood pressure up at times..but we are managing both..or at least she is....

Tomorrow we cruise Glacier Bay all day and then down to Ketchikan on Friday.....

Our impressions.....well....if you can get beyond the "tourist stuff"...it is pretty neat....but...BUT...the tourism stuff is big...that's all about making money...the cruise companies (4 ships in port as we speak)....are in on it...everyone is in on it.....

Juneau is a very small central community....which surprised us....the size is in the "greater community".....300 square miles of people (spread out for sure!).....

Oh, beautiful country. Thanks for the pictures. I really don't think that is fair, Dave, catching Linda without her smile but she is rest her eyes so that is okay.
I was really glad to hear from you guys I was already going thru withdraws not reading about your events of life. Ours here is uneventful so keep us excited by your blogs and enjoy everything.!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Janet

Oh, gosh, what beautiful photos! Hope I can go see those sights in person sometime. That touristy stuff seems to happen in every major tourist city. I've heard it's quite prevelant in cruise line ports, though. Just relax, buy yourself a snowdome and enjoy the scenery.

Glad you're having a good time. Looking forward to more photos when you get back.

Love to you both, as always.
