Welcome to Juneau


This is not a missive about teen pregnancy.  This is the capital city of Alaska, only accessible by air or by boat.  The roadways in Juneau get you from place to place in the city, but not out of it.  The ship is maneuvering its way through Stephan’s Passage and we are scheduled to arrive at about 11 AM Alaska time.  Overnight the ship changed its clock.  Our time is now 4 hours different than those of you contemplating lunch (as I write this). 

Already we are presented with some of the natural beauty of the state.  Clouds float over the valleys between the peaks.  Glaciers inch towards the water.



Our plans include a whale watch and exploring the Mendenhall Glacier.
