Alaska Day V

Today we woke up to a wonderful surprise; an in and out view of Denali. This mountain range is truly amazing and beautiful (no Denali picks due to images on other camera). Once again their was an array of hikes to tempt ones interest but for today we decided to forgo these activities and took a little jaunt down to wonder lake. After a short bike ride we hopped into our canoe and paddled around this gorgeous body of water. Feeling the rain and watching the water ripple across the lake truly made my heart smile.

Once back from wonder lake Christina and I stopped in at the green house to check on some veggies. We were able to eat a flower while we were there which had an amazingly tasty spicy bit to it. From there we proceeded to eat our sandwiches in the lodge.

After lunch was over we split up. Christina doing some reading and relaxing by the fire and me taking a wonderful bike ride. It was truly a freeing experience to take this amazing landscape in by bike (minus the buses flying by me). After my 30 mile ride we all headed in for dinner where a birthday surprise awaited Christina (from my mom Shary), a giant cucumber which Christina had commented on earlier while in the green house.

Once finished with our dinner and a show ( the show being Christina blushing as 30 people sang her happy birthday) we sat down for a talk on berries and the global effects of them on culture and economics. As the night has progressed we have enjoyed the rain and the wonderful sights and sounds it has brought to us on this day.

Here are a few images from today, hope you enjoy. (once again written on day five but posting later due to no Internet).
