Juneau

Today we are in Juneau.  I love Juneau  It is beautiful.   Very hilly and lots of trees.  Before the trip, I did some research on yarn shops in the places were would visit.  The one I wanted to go to most is here.  Skeins.  I can't wait to find it. I bought a set of bamboo sheets at Cariloha.  They are amazingly soft.  I know Phillip will love them. 

Skeins turned out to be wonderful.  I walked in and there was yarn from floor to ceiling and the owner, Nancy Fenton, was playing Sting!  I was in heaven.  Nancy was so wonderful.  She is going through chemo and she shared a few things about the joys of that.  I am kicking myself that I didn't get a picture of her or her shop.  Skeins was one of the highlights of my trip.  Robyn and I had a hard time limiting our yarn purchases, but we finally decided on what we needed.  So much lovely yarn.

We met Cara, Nana, and Cathy at the Red Dog Saloon.  What a fun place.  You don't go there for the food.  It is definitely for the atmosphere.  They have so much to look at, a guy playing saloon tunes on the piano and sawdust on the floor.   We added our names to the multitudes already on our table and had a fun time enjoying the saloon. 

After lunch, we headed back to the ship and to our rooms to hang out on the balcony.  Again, I was mesmerized by the sea planes and took a few more videos.   I can't seem to get enough of them.  It was a wonderful day in Juneau.
