The governor's mansion in Juneau, former home to Sarah Palin and her family.


I love layering mountains anywhere, and in Alaska they were spectacular. Too bad it was so gray and misty. A local man on the city bus in Ketichikan told me that when the sun does come out (a rare event there), the colors are incredible. With so uch green and so much water, I'm sure sunshine is practically blinding.


This is a picture of a clan house with totem poles in Ketchikan's Totem Bite State Park. A Bite is a shallow cove.


At the very beginning of the Inside Passage we passed several lovely lighthouses. This was my favorite one.
