Well, the big news is...it was sunny here today! Alaska under sunny skies vs. Alaska under grey skies is just a whole world apart. The temperature may not be very different, but your outlook on the world is when the sun shines through here! Natalie and I went to the Alaska Botanical Gardens tonight and took a lovely hike on their nature trail. However, I must report that it has NOTHING on the Ft. Worth Botanical Garden...in fact, it isn't even a garden at all. More like a really pretty forest. But we hiked through the woods and encountered our first real bugs during our time here (and you KNOW how much Natalie likes bugs!). So that was fun!
Then we went down to the Anchorage Museum (it was open late) and saw an exhibit on the Arctic Bush Pilots who are still prominent here. Did you know that Alaskans fly 30% more per capita than all other residents of the US? That's because places like Nome and Juneau (the capital) aren't even accessible by road. It really is an amazing state...
