Salmon and Solstice, Oh My!

Seward, Alaska

Brooklyn and NoCal contemplate the Alaskan yurt lifestyle...

Exit Glacier, outside Seward

A little over a week ago, I traveled to Alaska for the first time. A good friend from college was getting married to, we all agree on this point, the perfect guy. The wedding was one-of-a-kind, looking out over the soaring mountains, and because it was on the summer solstice, the sun didn't set until well after 1am. Then S. and I headed off to Seward for a few days, to check out the glaciers and wild life...a lovely, lovely experience, every minute of it. I was so happy to see my dear Smithies again - of course, I miss you more than ever now...


What are you looking at, Tourist?

There was a ridiculous amount of gorgeous pictures of the bride.
This is my favorite, though.

The beautiful and happy couple...

The breathtaking view coming into Homer. We couldn't believe that each summer, K came home from college to a place like this - wow.



Thanks to K & D for the lovely time!

Oh, the pretty! (Though I am surprised the onion tea fiasco didn't make the cut.)
