Haines, Alaska











Haines was a small place. In fact, the day the ship stopped there, our tour was in Skagway. When we returned from Skagway we still had a few hours in port so we decided to walk around. Walking is about all we could do. There wasn't much and what there was, it was all closed. We started to walk and found a cute shop that was opened. The shop was part of their home. We continued to walk and noticed a police car. He went by slowly and Jen was like, he is wondering who we are. We kept walking and saw the car to pick you up for the bed and breakfast. I wonder if the car even worked! As we continued walking, we passed the police car again. A few minutes later, he stopped us to talk. He said we were either in town for a few days or on the cruise ship because he didn't know us. We actually talked with him for awhile. We learned the shop we stopped at was the mayors house and we had a nice visit with the mayor without realizing. As busy as same days were on this trip, it was nice to just enjoy a peaceful walk around a cute little town.
