First Ship came and went


Juneau is back in the tourism business. The first ship came yesterday morning, people checked out the city during the day and the ship left last night. The ship is at the beginning of a world tour. The tourist shops that had been closed all winter were open and the streets were filled with 2000 tourists. Juneau is a totally different place with the ships in town. The regular cruise ships start April 29. The we get up to 5 ships per day.

I did not get any pictures of the ship or downtown. Juneau does look much different now that it is being dressed up for the tourist season. The pebbles are being swept up and tourist stores are opening.
