Today was a walking day. Our first stop was at Alaska's State Capitol. From the picture you can see that it doesn't look like capitol buildings we are used to--there is no rounded top. Another surprise was the fact that there were no metal detectors to pass through. A young girl gave us a tour, and we even went to the floor where the governor's office was located. Of course, he (this was after Sarah had resigned) wasn't in Juneau at the time; but we understand that had he been there it would have made no difference.
This count-down clock is above the entrance to the governor's office. Sarah had it installed when she began her four years. It shows how much time is left for the term of office. We had heard about this clock before we arrived in Juneau and wondered what it was like.
This is the governor's mansion. There is no fence around it, nor any visible security. We could have walked right up to the front door.
