We went to Diamond Tooth Gertie's last night.  It was a cute show that we enjoyed. We found seats in the balcony looking over the rail so that we would be sure not to be picked on.  The show was in the middle of a little casino.  They have 3 shows nightly 8:30, 10:30 and midnight.  They said all the shows are different but we only went to the 8:30 show.  When we picked up our tickets they gave us a card that says it is a 2011 pass so I think we could go to the show again tonight if we wanted.  Not sure if we will go or not but I think we are going to go check out the Sour Toe Cocktail Club at 9:00.

When we got out of the show last night it was bright and sunny outside and it was 9:30 pm.  We went back to the hotel and got the computer and sat outside where we could access the wifi.  We were out there until probably about 10:30 pm and it was still bright and sunny.  We probably would have stayed out longer but the mosquitos were really thick outside.

This morning we slept in until almost 9:00 am.  We got up, got dressed and went for breakfast.  We have been getting the breakfast buffet each morning because we have been in a hurry.  Today we weren't rushed so we ordered off the menu and took our time.  It was really good.

After breakfast we walked around Dawson City and went in all the shops we could find.  We just looked and didn't buy anything.  We also walked across the street to the river and sat for a while.  We saw several people hang gliding (at least I think that is what it was called).  It was beautiful weather and a good day for it.  In fact I got so hot I had to take my windbreaker off.  After walking around for a couple of hours we came back to the room and took a nap.  This is probably going to be the last time we get to rest for a while.  I was looking at our schedule for Fairbanks and it looks like we won't get in from our excursions until after midnight both nights and we have to get up VERY early in the mornings.  When we ride the train from Fairbanks to Denali we will probably sleep then because I am sure we will be exhausted.
