So I've been in Juneau for a little more than a week now, and I've already learned some key lessons for survival in this little city (and by little I mean tiny - it is the same population as my undergrad university...). The more experiences I have, the more I'll discover, and the more I'll post about them! So here goes. The very first lesson I learned here is: always wear/bring a raincoat. But usually always just wear one. It can start raining at any time in the day, even if the sun is shining (which it usually isn't). I should be used to quick weather changes, having lived in New England for almost 20 years. However, I've never experienced rain as determined as the rain in Alaska. I don't think I've spent one day here so far where it hasn't started raining at some point. Another good thing to wear - rain boots.  All of this makes it easy for wardrobe choices, but that's hard for a city-girl.
