Home and whew

Gustavus Relic
I got home on June 18th, and have been at pretty much a dead run since then. All of the photos I took in Alaska really weighed down my computer, so I bought a new desktop to accommodate my photos. Now, I should be really be able to manipulate them without the chugging from my old computer.

Alaska was wonderful, and I am still almost in awe of the trip we took. When I go back someday, I want to go to Sitka, Petersburg, Kodiak Island, Seward, Homer and the Arctic Circle and tundra. This trip was amazing. We saw everything from rainbows to eagles to a wolf. But it was just the beginning.

Traveling with Marilyn was delightful. She and I are able to communicate our needs for time and quiet. If I had it to do again, in this case, I would build in more relaxed days. Those days were necessary and lovely. They gave us a chance to breathe and to gird ourselves for the next day's activities.

So, expect to see more photos as they unfold. In the meantime, here is a taste of some of the best.
