This was one cool photo to get. Here I am with Lancer, standing in front of the historic state capitol building in Juneau, Alaska. The old building is under renovation but open. I am standing across the street looking down into the plaza where the statue of a bear stands, fronting the US flag and the Flag of Alaska. Two blocks to my right is the Governor's mansion which is also under renovation.
Juneau is much smaller than I expected although I knew it was a more quaint state capitol than some others. We walked the six blocks from the dock (which is right downtown) up the hill to the capitol building. It was not a strenuous climb by any means. Once you get through the many jewelry stores which permeate any cruise ship port, you find some really good restaurants. In fact, we went all the way to Alaska to eat a Filipino soup called "Mami." It was quite delicious and made our short stop a little warmer on this cold and wet day.
