Beautiful picture of the Northern Lights, OESY! Someday, I hope to see them! (So does Luv!) Especially if we could see them on a warm summer night, with the temperature around 60 and no breeze. (hee hee)
Don't be too put off by temperatures if you go (back) to Alaska. It was 70 in Fairbanks and 40 in New York City when we went around Memorial Day. (Of course, not far away at Manley Hot Springs, the temperatures did fall to 78 below one year, but it's hard to get there in the middle of winter.)
Outside of Fairbanks, in Ester--an old gold camp, is the Malamute Saloon. It features nightly some of the most entertaining and witty revues we've ever encountered, including on Broadway. The owner recites one of Robert Service's poems each evening. Here's another sample--and stay warm:
