Lazy

Hey there, our computer has been on the blink and we have been busy in Toronto looking for houses and jobs and stuff. But I am going to finish off the photos from the cruise in this post!

The last town we visited was Skagway, this was a tiny place that was started during the Yukon goldrush in the 1800's. Today the towns population is only about 500, although it triples in summer. The main street is pretty much been restored to the way it was, with wooden footpaths and old buildings. It was really cool.


We did a trip out to a mushing camp and went dogsledding for the morning. It was pretty cool.

There were so many dogs out there, maybe 200 or something. They pulled us along a trail through the forest on a sled with wheels.

The dogs were all stuffed at the end and had to lie down.
The ones that weren't racing were all sitting on top of their kennals, must have been the warmest place for them.
The best part of all was getting to hold the puppies!


Sarah didn't want to give them back.
The camp was in a awesome spot, about 20 minutes from skagway.



It was damn cold though.

When we got back to town we did a little pub crawl, little cause there is only 4 bars in town.
This is the only one open during winter.
We finished at the red onion, its an original bar thats about 130 years old. It used to be a bar and brothel, its like a bar from a cowboy movie.


Even though it was a short crawl we still had a good time!
