Work Trip to Juneau

note: pictures will be forthcoming...after I get home.
I am just finishing up my work trip to Juneau. The clinic here(the Juneau part of SEARHC) has kept me busy for the 4 days I have worked. It is always hard to work in someone else's space, but at least the configuration of most optometry exam rooms is pretty standard.
Annika seems to have kept herself busy and entertained. She has done a lot of walking the downtown area and some of the surrounding streets going up the mountains. Our motel is right next to the Alaska State Museum, so she was able to visit that. Tuesday was sunny and Wednesday was cloudy, but no rain. They say in SE Alaska that any day without rain is a good day.
The evenings we have spent doing shopping(around here you always pack an extra empty suit case to bring home all the staples that are cheaper here) and seeing a couple of things. Monday we visited the Mendenhall Glacier. The blue color of the glaciers is really cool. Yesterday we drove up the local ski hill to see how it looked(no snow of course). Eaglecrest has 2 lifts and a decent amount of snow. It is similar in size to Beaver Mountain where we skiied in Utah.... just lower elevation ...base is 1100 ft.
Today (Thurs) it is raining hard. Annika and I will try and see a couple of sites this evening before we have to get to the airport. It has been nice that this is a work trip as they flew me over, paid for the motel, car and food.
