The sun has finally reached us in Alaska. They call it spring! We’re on the bike trails and strolling downtown, and there’s even spring skiing – in shorts! The golf courses are open, altho’ there are still some temporary greens, but it won’t be long now.
The first cruise ship arrives tomorrow I hear and the local merchants are quite ready! I think I’ve mentioned that the cruisetours following the cruises are the best part of all, or at least equal to the cruise itself, as you get to see old Alaska. Some take you for a ride down part of the Yukon River where you reach Dawson City, in Canada, that is. They have a wonderful, popular dance hall with talented girls they import from Eastern Canada. Well, I won’t go into that now, but at least I hope I inspired you to research this fun loop.
On a personal basis, I’m gearing up for a family biking day to benefit Hostelling Internaional, and it does take a lot of planning. I never knew!
