MAROONED IN ALASKA--------


Still in Juneau and the latest situation is that the engine is still being worked on and the newest estimate is that we will leave Juneau tomorrow evening.  The Washington Ferry Highway System has been super nice to us as repairs are in process and delays contine to push back departure times and dates.  They have provided us with dining room vouchers for each meal.

It finally stopped raining this afternoon and we could actually see blue among the clouds.  That's a record for our time in Alaska!  We went back to town today, mostly to kill time.  It's about 12 miles into town so the cab fare is exorbitant!  We shared with another couple from Pensacola, Florida, Miller and Jack.  Sure enjoyed getting to know them both.  Joe and I parted company in town to do some shopping.  I found the library and went there to sit down and catch up on the news.  I picked up the local Juneau paper and found Joe and I on the front page!  There was an article about our trip and a picture of the car as we had it in town yesterday.

We have met some really nice people on the ferry that need to be mentioned: Carli and Daniel who were our neighboring campers up on the top deck in the Solarium.  Also, I enjoyed talking with Sam who was on his way north of Anchorage, I think, for a summer job.  "Hi", and best to all three of you!

More when we are able.  Alaska is BEAUTIFUL!
