Juneau visit

I had a couple of school-related meetings in Juneau this week, so I went back for a week to visit. It was a fun, exhausting, and HOT week. It was sunny and warm every day except the day I landed...almost unprecedented.

The Maritime Festival was going on the day I flew in, and in typical Juneau fashion, I ran into about 10 people I knew while walking downtown.  Megan, Suzie, and Karson, enjoying the festival despite the rain:

Even the flowers are pretty in the rain.

I was fortunate to stay with friends who all have beautiful views...Indian Cove as the weather started to clear:

Then closer to campus, at Jane and Zach's house, we saw whales and sea lions from their deck:

My meetings went well, I got good feedback from my committee, and I was sad to leave. : (
The Juneau Airport has the best view...

Still looks like winter in the mountains as I headed back south.
