So up here in Alaska, Summer solstice is a big deal. Maybe its because its the longest day of the year and theres more time to party. Or possibly because its the start of shorter days, which means you can actually get some sleep. Any ways, they celebrated it by having a HUGH party on the beach. The whole town comes out to party. There's a big bon fire, lots of food and for those that care to, plenty of beer. I'm on my way down there right now, but thought I'd comment on the amazing day I had.
A friend of mine here has a few Kayaks and today she took us out on the ocean. We had seals and otters swiming around and the day couldn't have been more beautiful. Not a cloud in the sky. The water was smooth as glass. We brought a lunch and ate it in the middle of the bay. It was so peaceful. Alaska truly takes my breath away.
Tomorrow will be my first day off since I've been up here. Theres a small farmers market here that I'm hoping we'll be able to go to. Theres also a Husky ranch with puppies. Then sleep and lots of it.

Looks like you are having so much fun. I'm totally jealous. So how long are the days? How short will they get? Anyway, talk to you later. Jenn Feickert
I am having a blast! Right now the sun sets at about 10:30-11 and rises around 3am. It has started getting darker sooner, but I'm not sure if that has to do with how cloudy its been. Its rained for a week now. :(
