Week 3 Visit to the Midwest

     After traveling by sea then air and finally by land I finally made it to my Midwest destination of Southern Minnesota from the wilds of Southeast Alaska.  Turns out I traded one cold place for another.  The ferry ride over to Juneau was a beautiful one filled with sunny skies, a spectacular sunset, as a few large rolling waves but no big seas thankfully.  The next morning flying out of Juneau the plane was chasing the sunrise what an amazing sight that was.  Fortunately I was sitting in a window seat for the show.  Arriving in the Seattle airport midday felt like being in times square on New Year's Eve at midnight for a person who has lives in a small bush community of about 350 people.   Now that I am down in the lower 48 states I have to reacquaint myself with crowded spaces and fast cars.  I am so used to living in an area where the fastest speed limit is 45, so 70 on a interstate with semi trucks can be a little nerve racking at first.  I have been taking pictures all along the way.  Next week when I return home to my sleepy little village I will sort through my pictures and post some for you viewing pleasure.
