h&g juneau

our first day/night in juneau was glorious! sunny, warm, beautiful, huge cruise ships docked, delicious dinner, & movie night. yesterday was a little more south east true to form. it poured rain! my mom and i tried walking about 5 miles into town when the rains came, naturally kimmie saved the day by flagging down a tour bus and got us a free ride downtown! my dad wasn't so lucky, he had some work to do and was lagging behind a little, when he decided to meet up with us it was really coming down. he got about 3 miles of a soaking wet walk in when he called me to get him a cab into town! luckily my photographic memory came in real handy and i called a cab number i had seen the night before on the road and i got it right! after another delish meal we walked around town. we realized quickly that the thing to do in juneau is drink! since we aren't really the drinking type we decided to get a cab back to the apartment and bundle up and watch movies! now we're on our way to beautiful skagway!

until sunday juneau, h&g!

(for those who don't remember sleepless in seattle very well, h&g is hi and goodbye!)

only in alaska...

will you open the door to your dryer and find an eagle's feather in the vent!  what a pleasant suprise, really everyday in sitka is a pleasant suprise.  there is so much beauty here, although i'm excited to come home to my man and my family, i am going to miss this romantic place.  i was imagining being stranded on a freezing cold island desperate and sad before spencer left and i was really nervous, but much to my suprise it has been quite a wonderful experience roughin' it up here alone!  thanks to my dear family who has called me to make sure i am still alive, and spencer for always reminding me that i'm stronger than i think and to buck up already!  here is a quote i've been thinking about a lot being up here alone.

"If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart.. I’ll always be with you."

- Winnie the Pooh
