Juneau, AK
Saturday, June 26
Got to see the Mendenhall Glacier today, up close. What a spectacle! 1.5 miles across and 150 foot face, it is receding at a rate of about 200 feet/year. We walked thru Juneau again and bought live Dungeness crabs for dinner. MA was almost too distraught to cook them. She had developed a personal relationship with her dinner. We drove up into the residential area above Juneau. The streets are VERY narrow, some are one-way and VERY steep. Most homes are situated right on the street, absolutely no front yard, zero lot line.
I tried to get connected in downtown Juneau today...no luck..."sorry, our computer has been down for three days". So we tried the public library which had closed 20 minutes before. Here we are, driving the jeep onto every level of the parking garage adjoining the library, MA holding the laptop open, looking for a green signal. Got the green several times but not able to lock on.
