e never been so happy to see rain.<\/p>\nI have never been so happy to see rain.<\/p>\n
In all honesty, I have been waiting for Alaska since we arrived on the ship. Sure, the Bahamas was nice (well, eventually), Mexico has a lot of charm\u2026and there are amazing historical sites in South America if you can get out with a group to see them\u2026<\/p>\n
But Alaska\u2026my dear, beautiful majestic Alaska.<\/p>\n
There is something about Alaska, the very air of the place, that tugs at my heart. It makes me feel better<\/em>.<\/p>\n Walking down the rain-slicked street of Ketchikan I could actually feel my shoulders start to relax. As much as I am starting to love Florida, and as much as the child in me will always love California \u2013 if for some reason I had <\/em>to move to the states there is no real question that it would be here.<\/p>\n I think it\u2019s that Alaska gives me some kind of hope for the rest of the world. The air is still clean here ,the trees are still green, there are still animals that know enough to fear humans but also know that we are in their<\/em> home not the other way around.<\/p>\n And on a purely superficial note, the crab soup at Dwyer\u2019s is still to die for\u2026.<\/p>\n Nope, there is not one single piece of me that misses Mexico\u2026goodbye heat, see you next season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have never been so happy to see rain.
