I wanted to share this with you, my first impression of Alaska. I was coming in at about 9:30 at night, and we were literally flying off into the sunset. I only got this shot after we were turning and getting ready to land. The sunset was the slowest I've seen, but I'll probably see slower. I wonder how long it takes for that to get old, because watching the sunset is great and it often seems like it's just not long enough, but up here, it could be going overboard. Dusk lasted until almost midnight. I was laughing from the moment we started to descend until well after I got off the plane. It's beautiful here. I wish I had been taking pictures as I got off the plane, but like I said, I was laughing. I'm too poor for a hotel room, so I'm hanging out in the airport, but I think it should still be a pretty good summer. Actually I lost my debit card and my cell phone in Seattle, but on the upside I did get to see my little girl while I was there. As we said goodbye she gave me a really long hug. It crossed my mind that it would be a moment to cry. Perhaps I should say heart instead of mind, I mean I felt it, but at the same time I just felt so happy to have that time with her, even if I knew it would be the last time I'd see her before September. I hope to find time to post pictures frequently during my stay here. I hope all of you are well.
