11 days already?!

So the first week and a half here has FLOWN by! Erin and I arrived in Anchorage on the 19th and we were picked up by Sherry, a wonderfully energetic lady Erin knew from the previous summer. We were exhausted from an entire day of flying, but I was totally thrown off by the bright sunshine in the sky at 10:00 pm... We picked up pizza and hit the sack early.
The following morning, sherry's husband Dick drove us to Ninilchik since it was on his way to Homer, where he would be fishing for a week. We passed by some of the most spectacular mountains and glaciers I have ever seen. He dropped us off at the General Store in town where our new boss, Vivian, met us and drove us up the hill to the lodge.
The lodge is beautiful. A rustic looking lodge with all the amenities :) after a tour of the lodge and the guest cabins we were shown to our néw abode- just a humble little lighthouse on a bluff overlooking Denali National Park and several volcanoes that lie within those boundaries!!!
In is pic, I am on the porch at our lighthouse and you can see Redoubt Volcano in the distance. At 10,000 ft jutting up right from sea level is way more impressive in person.
