Juneau city highlights: Poles and legs

Totem poles are like family crests that are usually placed outside of a home to show off the family’s heritage. The expression “low man on totem pole” doesn’t accurately denote the figure that holds that position as it supports the weight of everything above it. 








In addition to being serious about totem poles, these folks are also serious about some crab legs. They are $100 per pound and it was said that one leg could feed a 6ft athletic man! Now I love crab legs but Stacy’s not a big fan so we might have to skip this treat. Don’t know what I’m missing and I’m ok with it. Really can’t understand why they would cost so much when we came all the way here to get it.😂



Other cool stuff:
We searched high and low for a newspaper but skipped the guided tour here. 

No city tour would be complete without a trip to the library with my favorite librarian. And guess what Stacy found here? A newspaper!

Such artistry

Look closely - they have savory donuts. Their speciality: Salmon donuts (how fitting!)

Well this is going to be interesting!

As most of you know, today Stacy and I celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary! And we are off to explore two of earth’s most iconic places: Alaska and Hawaii. Given the very different temp states, this trip, although still technically in the US was more challenging to pack for than our 2 week British Isles trip last summer.  But with a last minute large second bag decision, we’ve got IT ALL packed and we are ready to go. First flight to Salt Lake City, UT and then to Vancouver, British Columbia. And we got a mini upgrade plus the exit row so Stacy is happily scrolling the entertainment options as we await departure.  We are so happy to share this latest adventure with you.

Utah without the Jazz

We had an easy flight from RDU to SLC and Stacy attempted to get some pictures of the mountains as we landed. Enjoy the view. Shortly after we arrived, we got the sad news of the loss of one our dearest friends. There are some people who bring so much sunshine to the lives of others that they can’t keep it from themselves. Here’s my favorite picture of me and my dear brother James. This will be another test of patience as we wait to see him again.

Who’s that girl?

So when Sydra told me I should wear my new hat on this trip, Stacy was a little skeptical. He even asked, where are you going to put that thing. Well, this outfit was a hit! Had folks switching lanes in the airport shuffle to complement. And then guess who was walking with a little extra dap in his step.  But then I got him good on our final flight to Vancouver. He was watching some race car movie with his headphones in and he almost missed it thinking it was another announcement about us coming in for a landing. But he came to realize the flight attendant was talking about him when she said “. . . congratulations on their 28 yr anniversary” and everyone on the plane started clapping. Then she said ring your call button so we will know where you are.  Stacy was in shock.😳 So I had to ring the button and the guys sitting across the aisle got TOO excited and started yelling “it’s them!” And then the couple behind us said they will have been married 53 years in August so we joke...
