Side Trip to Juneau

Bill, Mim and I took an express ferry from Sitka to Juneau to do a little site seeing and visit with some friends of Mim and Mike's. We left Sitka Saturday mid-day, arrived in Juneau for dinner and stayed 2 nights with Molly and Ron. Sunday we visited the state museum, Mendenhall Glacier and drove out north of Juneau to look for bears along the ocean and creeks. No luck on bear sightings but the day was beautiful. We had a lovely dinner with Molly, Ron and friends and left on the ferry this morning at 8. Now back in Sitka we're getting ready for our return to the lower 48. We fly out tomorrow morning.
