Our day was a Free day so we could do what we wanted. It was on the cool side but no rain so I walked downtown and went through the shops. Typical souvenier shops, jewelry stores and more jewelry stores.
Out of the 30 or more stores, only 2 are native to the city. It is amazing how all the people come off the ships and hit the stores - a sad way to spend your day in a beautiful area.While I was walking and shopping, Bruce and Don went hiking the Chilkoot Trail. They were gone about three hours and got back in time to have a quick lunch and get ready for our train ride - the White Pass & Yukon Train.
The train ride was okay - saw waterfalls, went through two tunnels (not thrilled with), the scenery was very nice but you get to the end, turn around and make the return trip. Because so many of us went, we got our own car so we were able to chit-chat and have fun w/our group.
When we got back, Cindy made dinner for us since they had already taken this entire trip, and weren't going to do the train ride again. It was Bet's birthday so we had a little celebration for her. Afterwards, we carpooled downtown and went out to Monte Carlo Night and saw the Soapy Smith Vaudeville Show. As always, they bring up people from the audience and the guy in between the two "Ladies of the Night" is Dave, a guy from our group. It was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. His nickname is now "Poopsy".
When we came out of the show, the town was like a Ghost Town. The cruise ships are gone and all the shops close up. It was another fun filled day but we were all a bit tired and called it a night. Plus, we were moving on to Northern Beaver Post in the morning. Nite Now!!
