Still having a great time in Alaska! This week we have spent time with some friends-- both old and new. Roger has a buddy here that he worked w/at Tyndall years ago and we had dinner w/him (& his family) on Tuesday night. They live in a subdivision just north of the base (off base); but this is the interesting thing I have to tell you: a couple of nights before we were there a black bear was at their back fence. Now, there back yard is about a 1/3 of the size of our backyard; we aren't talking in the back 40; but right there at their back door basically. wow. Wildlife is very abundant here. Everyone says that we've seen an exceptional amount for the time we've been here. I just feel like the Lord has just really blessed us by allowing us to see so many different creatures!
We aslo had a dinner w/a couple who is here for the same conference Roger is; he and Roger work in the same building, but not with each other; but turns out both he and his wife are really good Christian people, what a delight to have some wonderful fellowship! His wife and I visited some of the downtown sites yesterday and managed to navigate through the public bus system!Traveling is so fun, because you do things you would never do at home (public transportation!)
Also, we met two delightful couples on our day cruise into Resurrection Bay/Gulf of ALaska. THey are from Chicago and Michigan (they have been close friends for a long time). They said if we ever need a place to stay in Chicago/Michigan we have an open invitation. You will see their pictures when i post all of the updated pictures today!
