I was in front of the Governors mansion in Juneau, which (fun fact) is surrounded by rhodendrons from Seattle. I couldn't see Russia from the property (Tina Fey is a boss) but I did manage to get a few photo-ops. After many trips up here, I finally has a successful seafood experience. Dinner at the Gold Room in the Baranof hotel was killer. The halibut was perfection! Another successful trip to Alaska!

Checked, But Never Claimed

Here I am back in Juneau, AK looking at the gun Wyatt Earp checked, but never claimed. The Red Dog Saloon is a bit of a tourist trap, but for good reason. Its been around since the mining days, and its one of Juneau's oldest drinking establishments. The collection of taxidermied animals is impressive and somewhat scary. The people here are some of the friendliest I have ever met. The weather is some of the foulest I have ever been in, and I have been to the organic grocery store twice already!
