Dawson City a relaxing day

Last night we went to Diamond Tooth Gerties to watch the show try our hands at gambling and as luck would have it we more than doubled our money on the slots! We gambled all of our savings and won a grand total of $12.75 when we spent $5, almost paid for the entrance fee.
This morning we went to the Dawson City Museum to see what there was to see. Devon was fortunate and got to partake in the miner’s meeting, a re-enacted trial between two miners who were trying to convict Devon of attempted murder x2. Apparently he tried to poison the other miner’s beans and then shoot them after he dragged them up here from Seattle with promises of gold that never appeared. He was lucky as he had a sympathetic audience as I was one of the only ones who wanted to convict him but alas he walked free, this time at least. Besides that we went and walked around some old cemeteries, drank coffee, and perused the shops, basically another relaxing day. Tomorrow we are heading over the Top of the World Highway and through Alaska.
