We managed to drive a bit further than we thought the past couple of days, which made for an easy 6-hour ride into Anchorage, which included several stops for pictures and even a lunch break to let the cats stretch (Two was very fussy).

The trip through Western Alaska was beautiful—we are so excited to be living here! It is about 60 degrees outside for most of the day. Last night, the sun began setting at about 11:45 or so. We crossed into Alaska Time Zone today, which is Pacific – 1:00. I guess Sunday football games will start at 8:30 AM or so.

There is a good sized highway that starts about 60 miles out of Anchorage that runs into the city. Traffic seemed to flow pretty well overall. We’ll see how it is in rush hour. It’s amazing to me that all of this big-city business happens with snow-capped mountains staring at you from every side.
