1009 August 12, 2023 Rainy Day

It was in the low forties overnight.  This morning, it was 50 degrees and raw and raining and windy.  I took a short walk until it began to rain harder.  I spent time cleaning cupboards and drawers and the fridge and the bathroom.

After lunch, we drove into Whitehorse to the Visitor Center.  A very nice lady who reminded Tim of my mom a lot, helped us.  She told us about things to see in the area.  We left with maps and restaurant suggestions. 

We stopped at the grocery store for produce.

We drove Miles Canyon Road.  We stopped at the overlook to take pictures.  We walked only a little way before we decided that it was just too nasty to be outside. 

We have cable television.  Tim simultaneously watched Toronto baseball and took a nap.

We took the opportunity to get laundry done.

We made reservations at Sanchez Cantina after a recommendation by the lady from the Visitor Center.  The owner cooks everything herself and the food was fresh and delicious.

After dinner it was nice enough outside to walk through town.  There were two powerful exhibits acknowledging Canada’s history of placing indigenous children in Mission schools. 

Other art and statues are scattered throughout town and highlight the history of Whitehorse.

This store looks like it has had some trouble with theft.

We drove to the Yukon Energy Whitehorse Dam.

The fish hatchery and salmon ladder were adjacent but was closed for the evening.
