Last night I took a Nyquil and a tablespoon of honey (suggested by our butler, Naveen) and slept better than I have for a while. I hope it was the honey since that is a healthier choice. I woke up feeling much better so we went into town. We had no tour booked and just caught the shuttle. There is not much to this town, at least the downtown part, so it didn't take long to see. We've been to the aquarium before, which is the prime attraction. The day was mostly sunny so I got a few photos. The Carnival Luminosa with 2200+ passengers was also in town so the gift stores were busy. We've been very lucky on this trip as far as not being in town with other cruise ships - it's only been a few times.

After wandering through a few stores, we walked along the water for a bit, and then, as I was starting to feel a little tired, we took the shuttle back to the ship. Lunch and a quick nap revived me. Trivia was an average score of 8/15 again with no points. I knew the number of keys on a standard piano (88) and the animal with no vocal cords (giraffe) so I contributed. But a couple we missed were the year Elvis was born (1935, but we missed by a year) and the year Facebook was founded (2004 which surprised all of us).
Today was inspection day and there were Coast Guard people all around. Each one that I ran into was at least 6 feet tall and snappy looking. I guess we passed because they let us leave on time and we are sailing towards Hubbard Glacier.
Another good dinner at Compass Rose. Monica was able to rustle up some mint chocolate chip ice cream even though it wasn't on the menu.
