Posted on December 12, 2017 by perlgurl

Becoming Alaskan

Posted on August 17, 2017 by perlgurl

Day 2, Sunday July 2 – End of the Road

Posted on July 31, 2017 by perlgurl

The day started earlier than I would have thought especially given how tired I was from my bike ride yesterday. I had gone to sleep early for me, around 10:30pm and I slept fairly well, only waking a few times … Continue reading →
