Novel Kansas

There are things here that to me, being from Alaska, are simply charming. I don’t know that the rest of the world would find them so interesting and novel, but I do - things like old buildings made from brick and an enormous amount of sky.

I just spent 5 days in the most gorgeous place on Earth. Virginia. More brick homes and buildings than anything in Alaska. Beautiful churches that look like churches! More green rolling mountains with deciduous trees and full verdant pines - not the nasty scrubby pines and dead grass found in Fairbanks.
Absolutely beautiful. T-12 months until I leave Alaska!
