I love any opportunity to experience a new place. Last weekend we finally got to visit Kris & Amy (brother & sister in law!) at their cozy little home, north of the Arctic Circle in Kotzebue. You have to fly to Kotz. it isn’t connected to anything by roads, although I think there is an ice road to a couple of neighboring villages in the Winter (yeah…). It is really amazing how a just couple of days out of our normal routine can be completely rejuvenating.
Normally when I’m on the ocean, it isn’t frozen beneath me! Let me tell you, this is not typically my element…but I *love* that! I love the feeling of being somewhere new and less-comfortable and experiencing the goodness of life there. If you’ve never done that before, its about time!
