We're eating breakfast at the Paradise Bakery, another location recommended by our guide yesterday. We made certain to tell the gal there that we were there on that suggestion. Prices are high here, as they seem to be everywhere in Alaska. Tom had coffee and a breakfast sandwich and I had a strawberry-rhubarb scone, fresh out of the oven, and coffee for a grand total of $16. I got a kick out of the coffee pots; one says "Go Fast" and other " Pretend". Truth in advertising!
It is raining, as predicted. The cafe is really cute. Very eclectic, with unusual artwork and a western/cowboy theme running in the background. An old bicycle built for two hangs on one wall.
*****Uh-oh! Flight canceled due to weather! Will try to pick it up on the back end of the tour. Instead, we're going to walk around town and visit the Mendenhall Glacier later today. A globe-trotting woman who is part of our tour group, spoke very authoritatively on the fact that we did not want the helicopter tour in windy weather. She said people have gotten socked in up there for two weeks, and there is even a tent on top for that purpose! She cautioned against thinking I would find cheaper things in the villages since many shops are owned by the cruise lines but I will continue with my scouting mission.
