Joseph's Grand Adventures

Weeks 2 and 3 in Juneau have been great!  I decided to combine the posts since most of the week is work and such– nothing overly exciting.  The weekends are more fun with more to share. The second weekend here, I went to the malls and discovered there was a second card store in town and made a new friend there. He moved here last year and has been getting settled in since.  He used to have his own business being a hunting and fishing guide in Wrangle.  He has interesting stories to share.  I also discovered a 3D printing shop in the mall and have gotten to know the owner.   I also went out and enjoyed some sun at the Mendenhall Glacier and hiked around for a little bit.  

 

The next week brought my first Alaskan snow!  After calling for 6 to 8 inches, It turned out to be about 1.5 inches.  Other than the snow, Week 3 followed suit to Week 2 of work and handling various tasks after work.  The weekend brought more exploring at the Mendenhall Glacier and attending a gathering of 5 local churches for a praise and worship night!  

 

I still find it surprising how laid back everyone is in Alaska!  Though I don’t know that laid back is the right word because that implies laziness and people here definitely aren’t lazy.  Maybe a better phrase would be that people here just pace themselves and that pace is a lot slower than all the other places I’ve been so far.  I absolutely love it!   I am really enjoying my job.  I have learned much already and there is plenty more to learn!   

 

Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving!
