Look who I bumped into last week in Skagway, Alaska

We were in Skagway, Alaska, last week. Now for those of you who don't know, Skagway is a cute little town with wall to wall jewellery and souvenir shops open only a few months of the year. Most of them close for winter and the shopkeepers head south. The famous (or infamous, as most people in Skagway told me) Sarah Palin went to school in Skagway. So when I saw her in one of the shops, I asked Diane to take a picture of Sarah and me.
Poor Sarah, she is not popular in Alaska anynore

Skagway

We're on a trip through Canada and Alaska...


Today, we sail into Skagwway. We'll have plenty of free time, so we'll go on the  White Pass & Yukon Route Railway,  one of the most famous rail journeys in the world. That one has been on my 'Bucket List' for a few years.



The historic White Pass and Yukon Railway is spectacular
