Alaska Vacation
We're back from our Alaska vacation and what a week! We'll relate the trip in more detail as photos are downloaded and there is time to organize our postings. 22 of us went, all from Marolynn's family, including Grandma Carma who is 93 who after she sat on a fishing boat watching some of us catch salmon, said, "Next time I'm going to fish also." All of Marolynn's 3 sisters and husbands went, as well as some of the younger generation and moms and dads of the husbands.

We found that it is almost always cloudy and rainy in southeast Alaska, but there were enough breaks in the weather to see the glaciers and ride the train up over the pass above Skagway. I didn't realize that Ketchikan is 600 miles north of Seattle and that Skagway is another 600 miles north of Ketchikan. The sun comes up at 4 am and sets after 11pm that far north at this time of year.
We were almost shocked when we got back to Albuquerque last night to find the sun setting just after 8pm. More about the Alaska trip coming up.
