Juneau: Too many tourists?

7/16/2005 meps Leave a comment

The folks from a dozen cruise ships
Paid cabbies and bus drivers tips,
To go to the glacier
And commune with nature —
And be in each others’ film clips.

After so much solitude, sailing up the Inside Passage, we found the tourists in Juneau more interesting than the scenery.
