32

32

Today is my birthday and I’m sitting in my car with all my windows rolled down overlooking some wetlands and snow capped mountains. The sun is shining bright and the temperature is in the low 80’s. I couldn’t have ordered a better day out of a catalog to ring in #32. I remember months ago thinking to myself; It’d be so cool to be in Alaska on my birthday this year, then immediately thinking-yeah fat chance of that happening- and here I sit now. I went for a run up to a glacier this morning and now I’m stuffed from a delicious breakfast. I’m going to spend the rest of the day relaxing and doing a whole lot of nothing, just being outside and breathing in the air and peace of where I am at today.

I did want to share a photo of the big catch from yesterday. The guys I was with caught a 50 pound halibut!

This was the scenery during that catch, along with bunches of whale and sea lion sightings. A pretty fantastic way to spend 7 hours on a Saturday, with some of the nicest and most fun locals I could hope to hang with:

I have taken over 1,000 photos so far and officially been gone over a month now. I’ll have stories until the cows come home so keep checking back. I’m looking forward to sharing more! For now I’m off to treat myself to the gift of being unplugged for the afternoon…
