Juneau Town


Very Pretty Town

We are stormed in. There is a storm advisory and we have taken a day off from travelling. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow. It is a lush green rain forest here and the hill towering the town has numerous large waterfalls. There is a reason for all this water and greens. It rains all the time. Every local person we talked to said this is about normal ( may be not storm but rain and clouds). So, do not let those blue skies pictures fool you, plan on rain.

We did go out and walked around the town. It is very pretty and is full of expensive jeweler shops and tourist stuff. We tried to go up near the falls and planned on hiking a little but the trail was quite flooded and decided to come back to the town.

It is nice to take one day, sort of easy. Pay bills, do the laundry etc. If you are reading this please pray to rain god for a better weather. Good night
