I'm thinking that I'll be back Alaska, so it is only goodbye for now. There were places and experiences that kept me thinking how much I would love to share this place with my family and there is so much more to explore. We only saw the tip of the iceberg, or glacier as it were. Each state has it's challenges and Alaska is no different, but they are finding ways to meet those challenges as best they can.
As we got off the plane it felt very much like we hadn't left Minnesota. The weather and the fact that they also have no accent (I know, I know). They had a similar "Minnesota nice" attitude, though you did get cut off more on the freeway there than you would in Duluth but perhaps that's just big city driving. You sure can't beat the views and the experience of being surrounded by mountains. Every single time I looked up and saw the mountains, I was in awe. I suppose after a while it would be like looking at Lake Superior, which I view as a beautiful friend who keeps showing me different moods and colors. That sense of being ever-changing but a constant presence.
So goodbye for now, and truly, thank you for all the
wonderful fish and seafood. It was delicious!
