This is going to be my last post as I have made it home to "the lower 48" and now that I
'm in Texas, I remember what it feels like to sweat! It was 57 when I left Anchorage and 94 when I landed in Dallas. Just to tell you a little about the different environment and air quality in Alaska, I never got one pimple, it took me 30 seconds to dry my hair, I could go 4 days not waching my hair, without my hair looking dirty at all (half a day max in the south!), my hair was always fluffy and held its style, my face never got oily or shiny even without face powder, I never got boogers (sorry it's gross, but it proves the point :)). I mean the air is so crisp and clean you feel like you're breathing pure oxygen.

Wild Dogwood
The wildflowers were one of my favorite parts of Alaska because they were literally everywhere and so vibrant. I hope you enjoy them as well!
Blue Columbines
P.S. Next to Ted Stevens International airport is Lake Hood where many personal planes are docked. You can sit and watch them land on the water. When Lindsay was taking me to the airport this weekend, we were keeping our eyes peeled for moose as they are always around the airport. We didn't see one on the way, but as soon as I walked through security at the airport, Lindsay called me and said, "You're not going to believe this, but a moose is walking down my road." Isn't that funny, that the second I leave a moose is walking down the road of the house I was staying at!!
Stay Wild and Adventurous at Heart!Love, Rachel :)
