Between the Turnagain and Knik Arms

We made it! I am finally in Anchorage after eleven hours of flights yesterday. My main goal at this point is to get used to the four hour time difference. So far, so good. The mountains are phenomenal! My poor Aunt and Uncle had to listen to me rant and rave for awhile: "But did you see the mountains, guys??" "Yes, Katherine, we live here." Right. But did you see the mountains?
Today Mk and I became educated in Anchorage geography. I was especially worried when we started this lesson because, as any of my family and close friends will readily tell you, my geography skills are...slim. So slim that getting anywhere new by myself quickly becomes what I like to call an "adventure" purely for the sake of keeping my self esteem fire burning. Nevertheless, my Aunt Lyn took us on a morning tour and I think that I followed most of the pointing and name calling well for the most part. We started with a tour around the city including the bus transit center (we most likely use the bus to get to work) and our summer office. We also got to see an eagle's eye view of the city from the Flattop Mountain overlook (where it was snowing, no big). We saw how Anchorage is wrapped in a big hug between the Turnagain and the Knik Arms coming off of Cook Inlet which branches from the Pacific Ocean. I thought that was cool. I also think that the mountains are cool.
We start work tomorrow and I am pumped. I can't wait to see exactly what I will be doing all summer long. Well, that's it for now. If anyone needs me, just tell them that they can find me between the Turnagain and the Knik arms.
