Yes, Alaska really is as amazingly beautiful as people say it is. And no, pictures don't come close to showing off how magnificent it is. It's something you have to experience for yourself. (Although if you're interested in pictures, there are more on my Facebook page.) I spent a wonderful week with friends watching glaciers calve; finding whales, sea otters, and bald eagles; and simply enjoying the grandeur of nature.
We also had a lovely time finding lumberjacks (more on that in a later post), eating ice cream and baked Alaska and way too much other food, and making friends with puppets and towel animals. I'm very good at going on vacation and leaving everything else behind, but this time I was able to relax even more than usual. Maybe being able to take 45 minutes every night to soak up sunsets like this one had something to do with it.

Like I said on your facebook WOW
Ah, it was nice. And now back to . . . life in general.
Skippy likes your pictures, by the way.
There are only two places I have ever wanted to take a cruise but has been tucked away for a long time. Alaska is one of them. Your pictures make me want to go. The other is to Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Island...
So glad you had a great time!
