JUNEAU, ALASKA, USA - part 2

We found this spot before heading to the Glacier Park. We all tried different ethnics treats and it was yummy!

On the way into Mendenhall Glacier Park we saw some tourist plunging in the icy waters and ran into several other ship people who had traveled up here, it's about 12 miles up from Port.

Sadly, we had to head back towards town for me to get back on the Ship, but first we did a drive by of the famous Govenor's Mansion in Juneau to see if " you can see Russia from my front door". A line made famous by Tina Fey on SNL imitating then Governor Sarah Palin during her vice presidency run, with John McCain. You cannot see Russia! Area surrounded by mountain ranges.


I had to say a quick farewell to the Miller's and Juneau but hope to see them again soon! Perhaps Christmas break!!

Thanks for tons of FUN !!

Got to love a place that sells shirts saying " Where the heck is Yap? " Colonia ( population 3,100 ) is the Capital and Harbor town of Yap State ( population 11,600 ) one of four states in the Federated States of Micronesia. We are in the Pacific Ocean or Philippine Sea just north of the equator, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
