Finding the same-sames and changees of breathing abroad...

This blog is about my experiences, challenges, adventures and the what not as an English Teacher fresh out of college into the boiling Korean kettle of a school system, the cultural quirky web of bows and other formalities, and then of course splendid ad hoc travels to get away (or into more) of it all.

Trip to AK with the rents

Here are some pics from my recent journey to Alaska with my parents. It was a beautiful trip (as you will see) but right now I can't remember any specific stories. We just hung out and talked, surrounded by gorgeous mountain views and cool fresh air.  Who needs Hawaii for relaxation? 
This here is Mt. McKinley. She was quite bold the first day, but shied away from us on our actual tour through Denali National Park. I guess we were very lucky just to see her at all! 
Mom enjoying the beautiful glacier view and mystic mountains. 
Roadtrippin' tended to be our "thing". We drove sooo much. Kind of nice after not being in open space for a long time. Plus, we got to "see" Alaska- the good and the bad.
The black bear we saw take a poop!  This is him after he got out of the ice cold water.
Beautiful scenery- thanks to Alton for showing us this!
The crew climbing down the ski hill we went up to by cable car. Last day of the journey.
Dad with moose antlers in Denali National Park. He killed the moose first- with his bare hands.
Mom smelling the flowers. Just takin' time :)
Moose with baby!  This was taken through the binoculars. - Kind of cool I think.
The crew on the cruise ship. Lookin pretty happy with their day!
