SAFE AND SOUND IN JUNEAU!

Okay – All’s well that ends well – or so they say.  After 2 hours at DMV Jim finally got a new driver’s license!  Mom and dad arrived successfully in Juneau. And we had a LOVELY drive around town.  We have a rental car, and went to the far south (or is it east?) end of the road – to the small community of Thane.  We went past Sheep Creek where Joe Juneau found GOLD – or so they say.  We also went to the new sculpture installation – a humpback whale.  This is a bit hard to find – near the Juneau-Douglas bridge.  Here is a website that talks about the sculpture:  http://www.alaskawhalesculpture.com/

And here is a photo – if you look closely under the flipper – you will see mom and dad!

After touring around Juneau = we went out to dinner at Salt which is considered Juneau’s finest restaurant and had a LOVELY meal – sorry Birgit – all I managed to photograph was the appetizer which was a very nice cold pea-mint soup topped with shaved radish and crème` fraisch ( or however you spell that).   

SO – I will attach a few more photos – and then it is BED TIME for Karen.  More tomorrow!
