Why spend winter in Juneau, Alaska (AK)


My alaskan family
Spending early morning sipping rooibos tea with Mother in the sun room
The family "puppy"!
The family cat, aka "Queen of the Universe"
Warm, friendly, laid back people
"Alaska time" means no stress, but things still get done on time
Going to the movies or bowling with my little sister
Doing the laundry in the new washer/tumbler
Northern Lights (no brainer)
18 hours of darkness on average every day
Juneau Art Galleries
January Sales at Annie Kaill's artsy store
Any class at Rainforest Yoga downtown
Private lessons with Gretchen at Rainforest Yoga
Kundalini Meditation with Hari Dev at Taproot Yoga on Sunday mornings
Midday Meditation at Shambala Center downtown
Lunches at the Hangar watching waterplanes taking off and landing
Breakfast at Paradise Café opposite Marine Park
Sushi at Canton House
Local Highschool stage plays, starring little sister mentioned above
Local University festivals and events
Juneau Symphony concerts
Playing wii at the TV room
Skating on frozen Auke Lake
Walking to the Mendenhall Glacier and back.
Living inside a Rainforest, for god's sake.
Living inside the most northern Rainforest on the planet.
Walking into the divinely smelling Alaska Fudge Company on a windy icy afternoon.
Fresh, still warm slice of Divinity Fudge from Alaska Fudge Company.
Looking up the sky at 4 o clock in the afternoon to a flood of stars.
Again, the Northern Lights.
Going to bed at 9 and waking up at 4.
Snow storms and listening to the chimes in the garden going mad
No electricity due to snow storm
Ordering pizza and watching movies with the whole family spread comfortably into sofas and armchairs
Enjoying a fire in the finnish fireplace
Teaching the puppy not to pull while taking him on a walk on icy slippery road.
Smoked Salmon... clam chowder... oven baked halibut...

Well, why the hell not?
