May 30,2009






We have been in Alaska for almost 4 weeks now. The weather has been great with lots of sunshine and only a few rainy days. Everyone here says this has been the best start to summer that they have had in a few years. I am glad we picked a good weather year to be up here. The temps. are mostly in the 50's to upper 60's. I really like the long daylight hours. It does not appear to be affecting my sleep.
Chris had been here for a week now. We picked him up at the airport last Friday and delivered him to his employment in Moose Pass. It appears he will have a great summer and will learn some new skills in the kitchen. I have posted some pictures of Kenya. She is enjoying it up here and really likes to come along on the hikes. I have also posted a picture of Mt. Marathon in Seward. There is a running race each year on 4th of July where they run the 3 miles up the Mountain and then turn around and run 3 miles down. I guess it is quite the event. Also posted are some pictures of the bore tide in Turnagain Arm which is right by our place. You have to look closly as it is bit hard to see. We hope to get a closer viewing point at some future date. Also posted is a picture of Exit Glacier near Seward and a picture of the Tram on one of the Mountains at Alyeska Resort
