Juneau

I will have a series of entries that are outdated so bare with me :) I went to Juneau at the beginning of August. I went as part of the Nome Literacy Council, which I am the new president of. It was a great trip. We got in a little sightseeing. The first thing we saw was the Mendenhall Glacier. It was truly amazing. It is slowly melting due to climate change, but it is still massive. It is part of an ice field that connects to Canada.


I had the opportunity to visit my friend Ryan, and he took me to Shelter Island by kayak. It was a little scary, not only because a whale surfaced about 100 feet to the left of us. We left at dusk which made it a bit scary as well. It was great though! I had a great time seeing his friends cabin and seeing more of the Temperate Rainforest that Juneau has to offer. Beautiful!
