Last night, my younger brother posted a photo to facebook from the trip my mom, sister, and I took to visit him over the summer. Take me back – now, please – to kayaking on a glacial lake outside of Valdez. See that valley of ice to the right of me? It’s a glacier. nbd. Sometimes it’s still hard to realize that my brother lives there, in the midst of gorgeous scenery each and every day. [Then I remember that he also deals with hundreds of inches of snow a winter and constant darkness for part of the year. And then I’m okay only visiting every other year in the summer months.]
