Oh he who loves climbing up hills and steps said lets go and see the Governors residence, it's not very far. Yes you guessed, it was up hill but you had to go up steps. I counted about 100, and as my hips and knees are gasping in pain , all he can say is nearly there! Finally got to the very last step and I am thinking lucky me my knees and hips are still working, then he tells me it is just up this short hill!!!!
All I could say to him was it better be worth looking at! It was and so was the surrounding houses and suburb. We got yet another perspective on Juneau.
Governors Residence
Greg at the front door of residence
By the time we walked back to town it was about 5.00pm and both of us were very dry. Greg suggested we have a beer at the Red Dog Saloon. The place was packed, we had to go upstairs to get a seat. There is a "mature " Man singing and playing the piano, bowler hat, braces, garters on the sleeves, I felt likeI was back in the1890's. Anyway, he obviously had the crowd geared up for the next people to walk up the stairs. This is how it went:
Piano player..... Oh we have some we customers, where are you from?
Audience.............Who cares (very loud and all together)
Piano player: what's your names?
Audience..............who cares. (Even louder)
The piano player says something else but by that stage I didn't catch it and hurried to our seat. He was very entertaining with his jokes and made up words to songs. We enjoyed it so much we stayed for a second beer and had dinner. It was a lot of fun.
