Sun!!!

So we have had 4 extremely beautiful, sunny days in a row! Since Monday I have spent a good chunk of time outside, enjoying the weather, mingling with tourists, and taking in the landscape that is all around me. I have also been a bit of a tourist myself this week as I have been taking pictures of one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen, the water, the mountains and even the moon! (I must admit that I almost forgot that it existed because I haven't seen it since arriving in Sitka.)

On Tuesday, while I was taking some photos along the water, I offered to take a picture for a lovely married couple from Idaho. After I took their picture in front of their cruise ship, they insisted that I let them take one of me in front of the ship too. Being polite, I obliged and now have my very own Sitka vacation photo! Following this encounter, I enjoyed my lunch along the water and just enjoyed being outside in the sun (I know that the rain and darkness will eventually dominate the weather here.) Rather than trying to unsuccessfully describe the weather this week and using the phrase "a picture's worth a thousand words" as my inspiration, I am just going to share some of the pictures that I took.
