Wandering in Juneau

Despite a rainy forecast, we enjoyed a crisp fall day in Juneau, Alaska. Rather than peruse shops, we made our way to the local cemetery for my ongoing research.

Along the way, we passed a statue for an English terrier named Patsy Ann.

In the 1930s, Patsy Ann earned the title of Juneau’s official greeter due to her talent for arriving at the docks well before ships arrived. Not only that, but she somehow knew which dock to wait at. To top it off, she was born deaf.

Other sites on our jaunt to Juneau’s cemetery included a headless horseman, and a Sasquatch carrying a large beverage.En savoir plus
