Juneau july 12th
Today was a fantastic day here in Juneau. Since I got the computer, I was able to skype with the baby girls and Jessica. It was so nice to see some faces. But Evy was stubborn and didn’t stay by the camera and Kaela was looking at her own face the whole time making weird faces....(not gonna lie, I was too ) And for those of you who don’t know yet, I have a nephew on the way as well! I won’t be there for the birth, but some time in september or october he should be arriving. I cannot wait to meet little Jameson :) or Jamison.....not sure how they are spelling it.
Well, anyway, back to Juneau. After coffee in the morning and internet, I went back to the ship to grab a bite to eat and get ready for my dog sledding tour. I was calling it sled dogging all day...haha whoops. Right as I sat outside the ship and as I was getting ready to go on the bus, I met an adorable couple, that commented on my boots from Chile. (well the wife did:) turns out, they were one of 5 couples traveling together. I met the other couple on the bus as well, and since I was traveling alone and we were supposed to go in a group of 6, they invited me with them and they claimed I was their adopted daughter for the cruise. They had kids and grand kids so I am sure, they were missing them. They were the sweetest, and California natives, so it was nice to hng out with them. The dog sledding tour was great too. The dogs were adorable and so trim. I guess like any athlete, pulling all that weight they had to be thin. They had about 160 dogs in that camp. Seems kind of intense to me, but they were all really cute. After we took the ride, we all got to hold the sweet puppies that were only a month old. I was dying. They were just adorable! So, I didn’t say goodbye to the sweet couples, instead, they invited me to the dining room for dinner tomorrow, so I am looking forward to that.
After the dog sledding tour, myself, and a few others decided to take a late hike up the mountain. Since I am not much of a hiker (with every step most people take, I take 4) , I was kind of hoping for a fairly moderate night hike. Nope. This was literally climbing a mountain folks. I kid you not, it was incredibly steep. I was praying the whole time we would be done. The view was gorgeous, but I spent most of my time looking down, making sure I didn’t trip :) When we got to the top, I was so happy. I have never finished hiking all the way to the top of the mountain. I felt like I conquered it....with the help and encouragement of my fellow hikers :) It was a good crowd to go with....and I will post pictures soon of the incredible, breathtaking view from the top!
