"It's a Gift"

Did I mention the weather?

All the way to Alaska and back, the weather looked like this.



Our entire time in Alaska, the weather looked like this.


(Isn't our ship pretty?)

The locals kept exclaiming about the weather. One guy said, "I don't know why it is like this. It's usually raining sideways this time of year." We would just smile and say, "It's a gift from God for our mother."
