I
really enjoyed walking through all the recreated historic buildings
and watching a short movie on the gold rush period and the hardships
they endured for their adventures. And I complain about my heater
being broken for a day!

Skagway
is also home to the White Pass Yukon Route Railroad billed truthfully
as the world's most scenic railroad. I took that 3-1/2 hour ride
hugging the cliffs gazing at the spreading and soaring mountains
and marveled at what it took to carve that route out of the long-frozen
boulders.

I
met a beautiful woman originally from Baghdad who was on the cruise
ship in port today and we realized how much we had in common when
she confided she cries sometimes when beholding the beauty of nature,
also.

It
was incredible being up that high and so close to the snowy mountains.
