Our Alaska Home
We have been home in Alaska now for close to two months and are settling in nicely. Tim has gotten a job, and I have been spending a lot of my time hiking in the mountains close by. I sleep a lot, a symptom my neighbor calls 'decompression', brought on by the sudden ability to relax after 16 months on the road! We are also planning our next trip in November, a private raft trip down the Grand Canyon with the whole family. Speaking of family, my grandfather made the front page of the newspaper yesterday and there are some videos of him talking about bear encounters, slowing down at 81, and frostbiting his ass in the Arctic online at the Anchorage Daily News website. Here are the links:
