JUNEAU AND VICTORIA

Getting ready to ride the $33 Tramway.

We were Photo Bombed! Nice young lady -- from Ohio, I think.

One of our first talk assignments was on the Millennum.

Riding up the Mount Roberts Tramway.

Are we at the Ismailova?

Back on the Explorer of the Seas.

"Selfie" experts, we are not.

The main street in Skagway -- Broadway. And wooden sidewalks.

Great mural, representing Alaska history. First portrait is con-man Soapy Smith. Next scene over is Chilkoot Trail. Then Skagway (see pix above). Last picture is Skookum Jim who may have found the first gold on the Klondike River (if it wasn't him, it was his sister, or his nephew, or his brother-in-law -- the brother-in-law George Carmack got credit because he was a white man -- no natives allowed).

Posing with one of the trains. We will ride a different one from the same line, next week.
Another view in Tracy Arm Fjord.

Waterfall in Tracy Arm Fjord.

Victoria's flowers.

Incredible gardens.

Largest employer in Victoria? Landscape companies.

My flower. 48 years.

Posing in the narrowest street (32 inches wide) in Canada. Fan Tan Alley. In Chinatown.

The Traveling Sislers in Chinatown.
