andrea: more accurately what DO I think of Alaska, since I am in fact still there (here). My flights got all messed up due to a mechanical problem and I can't get out of here until Saturday. So at this point I'm stuck in Juneau. Though there are certainly worse places to get stuck, I'm ready to be home.
However, I'm resolved to make the best of it here. I think I'll do what any sane person would do in my shoes: take a hike.
To start to answer your question concerning Alaska.....I think it's amazing. It's like Switzerland MINUS the quaint cabins, cows and manicured pastures, but PLUS grizzly bears, moose, wolves, ocean, and incomprehensibly large tracts of unspoiled, unexplored land.
It's in these places that the line between this present world and the world to come seems to blur. In fact I really start wondering if THIS world IS heaven. (Just a world not yet brought under the Rule of the King). Any thoughts?
