After seven long days of driving, we arrived at my grandfathers in Anchorage. Tim has never been to Alaska this close to summer solstice, and he is having lots of trouble sleeping! The sun goes down around midnight for about four hours, but it's never far below the horizon and is always somewhat light. I love it. For me the midnight sun is what summer is all about.
Our first two days living in Alaska together were cold and rainy. Finally, last night the sun came out at about 10:00PM, bright and shiny, sending rays slashing in through the windows. As the grey darkness melted away, it felt like morning. Time for bed?? No way!
