On Sunday and Monday, the weather was an easy paraphrase of a book that was out awhile ago. The weather here is "Rain Falling Softly in Spruces."

With our trusty rain-coats, we visited and did pretty much what we wanted.

On Monday, our final day in Juneau, we visited the City Museum. There Mary Anne saw pictures of a couple of things her father worked on while he lived up here in the late 1930s. She got pictures of the Alaska Juneau Goldmine, and of the original Douglas Bridge across the Gastineau Channel. Take a look at the photos.
