Today I went on a bike ride with my dad and rode along the Seward Highway for about 20 miles, then turned around into a traffic-infested highway and finished our ride. There was a lot of missing of Christopher and quite a bit of reading in The Master and Margarita, but not too bad of a day. Dinner was kind of stressful and I would have rather not been in the company of my family- i think my mom is really stressed about her tour but I feel like she's taking out her frustrations on me. I hope things calm down when the tour starts. If things keep going on like this, I don't know if I will want to come back on another tour. The more she nags at me, the less time I want to spend around her, then she nags at me for not being around to help her with things. I just hope things clear up.
I can't wait also to get out in the wilderness of Alaska. The only thing I've found interesting so far about Anchorage is that the sun is up all of the time, but I haven't really done much to enjoy it- no midnight walks, no early rising, nothing that I would want to enjoy by myself anyway. It has been very cool up here which is nice in comparison to the hot, humid weather of Wisconsin and Minnesota, but if I had to trade a week in the coolness of this house in Anchorage with a week in the heat of Minneapolis, what would I really choose? I do not know at this point, but I can't wait for the Fireweed- I know that for sure.
