Loved my breakfast!

July 8 – This morning was breakfast in Whitehorse where we arrived at the outskirts yesterday.  The food was very good, slow service though slow waitresses.  I had French toast and chorizo sausage and have French toast left for tomorrow morning.

From there we went to see the S S Klondike.  It was a cargo ship that went up and down the Yukon River.  Our guide was an Indian Native who volunteers at the ship and he was extremely knowledgeable about the building of the ships and the perils they faced.  Unfortunately, the ship is going under renovations inside so we didn’t get to see inside except the cargo area in the bottom thru the windows. There were two guides and we all thought our guides were great.

After the ship we were on our own for the rest of the day.  Barb and Mike rode with us today and we drove around some to see an old church and the downtown, then we went to Dollarama, Walmart, (while the guys went to Canadian Tire), another grocery store and then we were ready for some lunch.  The tavern we planned to eat at which was the oldest tavern in Whitehorse no longer serves food.  They recommended a place down the road, Earls.  The food was delicious, very upscale and I think our friends were a bit taken back on the prices.  Bill and I enjoyed our meal and we cleaned our plates.  Our friends both didn’t touch their broccoli, he didn’t eat his rice.  So I got their broccoli and rice and took it home and I have half of them both with my leftover chicken for dinner.  

We took them to see the Douglas DC-3 airplane weather vane.  We visited yesterday and there was some wind and we all got to see it move with the wind.  It’s really cool to sit there and see this huge plane turn with the wind. 

Dinner was leftovers from lunch and other nights, so I didn’t have to do much.  Earlier I made a batch of Chocolate Chip Brittle that I broke up and made 5 little bags to share with our fellow travelers.  Next time I have time to bake a batch I’ll share with 5 others. 

Time to call it a day as we are to be at a gas station meet point with others at 5:45AM.  Ugh!
