First, the Kachemak BayWriters Conference. Writers out there: GO! Next June.
The scenery: like a postcard. Mountains. Ocean.
The wildlife: bald eagles--babies and big guys with salmon in their talons. Puffins. Otters. One stunning sandpiper crane. More birds than I can name.
Flying in a Cessna over surreal blue glaciers and craggy mountains.
Eating: salmon. halibut. rockfish. oysters. repeat.
Local beer. Local wine. Local coffee.
My room with that view.
The writers I met! New friends!
Inspiration around every corner.
I hated to leave this place.
But I am now in Anchorage and loving a whole new kind of experience.
Today the zoo, full of rescued native animals, plus one tiger and the grave of an elephant won in a contest years ago.
Moose Tooth pizza and local beer.
Off to a salmon and steak barbecue now with new friends.
Ah! Alaska!
