Ahhhh, guess where we drove this weekend. Yet another trip to Skagway, Alaska. Nancy just purchased a new car and wanted to try it out, and considering the last cruise ship will soon depart Skagway's waters, the shops will soon close and consequently large sales were calling. We were lucky, it wasn't raining. The drive in the autumn is beautiful and although the bears are filling up on berries for their long winter nap, we saw none. The only wildlife we saw on the road was a squirrel. Arriving at the lunch hour, we stopped at Poppies for a bite to eat. Their gardens, while still beautiful, are seeing the last of summer. The food once again was excellent! We then proceeded to shop till we dropped but alas, even with the sales on, nothing caught our eye. My favourite shop was closed and there are so many diamond stores, they all start to look the same after a while. The wind in the wee city was brutal. We almost bought hats and winter coats! And on the way home, my favourite ice cream cone store in Carcross was also closed. Guess summer is over and I'll have to wait another two seasons for an ice cream treat.

It sure is great to be retired to visit all these places. Great pics CLR - Keep them coming. Walter fell while walking his dog CHEVY 2 weeks ago - even had to go to the hospital - He is feeling better. He will hopefully be coming on October 11th and we will be going to Rosas Thanksgiving Day Party. Always a highlight of the year. I get to make all the Pies. - Will have new pics in a couple of weeks on blog - MJT
I just went in to see the pics of Skagway and the first picture is surreal - The clouds look surreal. Oh, and you look great. MJT
