July 3, 2012 - Garden City RV Park, Skagway, Alaska

After the long and busy day yesterday, we had a slow and relaxed day today. High temp for today has been 56 degrees, and the wind has been steady. We went into town to look at some of the shops this morning. Since four cruise ships were docked this morning, every store was open and the streets had a good number of people wondering in and out of the shops. Buses were busy taking people from town to different attractions, horse and buggy tours were operating, and we saw some older style small tour buses taking people on town tours. With the wind and the weather, it was not the most comfortable to walk around. Most people were dressed for a winter day, but you still saw a few in t-shirts and shorts. We did manage to find a quilt shop, so the trip in was a success.

Hanging from window to attract attention for a show.

Karen found what she wanted.
After walking around for a while and finding a burger for lunch, we headed back to the RV. The afternoon provided time to play on the internet, take a nap, read a book, and for Karen to sew on a baby quilt she had brought along. We will head out of Skagway tomorrow and it will be a fairly long driving day as we make our way back toward Watson Lake.
