One year ago today, I flew to Anchorage!! thus beginning my summer in the Midnight Sun. I remember it so vividly! I did a few calculations and in the past year, to the day, I've traveled 20,669 miles. After I fly home, I'll nearly have traveled the equivalent of the circumference of the globe. Fun facts!
As an ode to Alaska, and because I can't get enough of them, here are some photos.

| Last year's dried salmon, for the dogs. |

| The only two brave enough for the challenge: 38 degree water for 20 minutes. |
To be honest, none of my experiences in Europe have compared to Alaska... Not that it's a contest.
Really? (Your last comment) Interesting! My heart has been aching for Alaska since summer started.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You know how they have you do word verification before you publish a comment? Mine a few seconds ago was butthole. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWow! How come we didn't see those pictures before? Very nice! I would venture to say you may have missed a few miles in your recounting... I bet you will surpass the circumference of the globe before making it home. Who's the well muscled dude? He reminds me of me! Ha Ha! (Just kidding, I know who he is) No, I was not kidding about the "reminds me" part, at least not the well muscled part. Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteColleen,
ReplyDeleteTwo Alaskan salmon fillets await our reunion in Virginia. I cooked one package before leaving for camp and it was sensatinal.
Wish I were working at that Alaskan camp right now. It looks so beautiful.
