We were sad to say goodbye to our new Juneau family, but we had a ferry to catch! We settled in to our sleeping bags under the heat lamps of the solarium. The next few days were spent on the Taku, entertaining ourselves, and whoever else wanted in on our ridiculousness.
We amazingly managed to sleep in so late that other passengers in the solarium had started to worry that we were all dead. Bethany was the first to wiggle her feet, which set those worrying passengers at ease.
We got off the boat at Petersberg, ready to cook breakfast, only to learn that we had about 2 minutes on land. I guess we saw everything we wanted in Petersberg.
Soakin' up the sun during lunchtime!
Entertainment provided by the Alaskan Marine Highway ferries. You're never too old....
"Bethany, you're doing a really good job!"
Although it may seem that Bethany and Naomi worked on this puzzle for hours and hours. . . they became overwhelmed and frustrated after 1 minute, and quit after 2. Fifty-piece puzzles are more our style.
A fellow traveler, Andy, shares some laughs, stories, and some of our 3 pounds of salami. Andy had also joined our band earlier, as we provided music in the cafeteria, and then outside, under the beautiful Northern Lights.
Realizing that it was our final night in Alaska, we hopped off the boat to have a round in Ketchikan. Alaska, you were so good to us. . and we'll be back soon!
Welcome to Canada! (What's not shown in this photo is that 1 minute earlier, Bethany gracefully fell from the top of the sign, ricocheted off the wood and narrowly avoided landing on the guitar that was on her back.)
Catching up, once again, on the blog, this time in the Prince Rupert library. We've actually made it to about 4 different public libraries in our travels!
We met some lovely travelers on the way to Port Hardy, Shanti and Steve, also musicians, who jammed with us and performed their wonderful original pieces. This is a prime example of what a small world it is, as they both went to the same small university as Bethany, at the same time. You guys rock!
