I think I'll have to add the mud flats to my list of top ten reasons to live in Alaska. I have never had better mu in which to play. After our rollerski intervals in the morning we colluded to take advantage of the one nice day we've had in July to put together a picnic and play outside all day. If you had told me that I would ever be swimming in the Pacific Ocean when the ambient temperature was 65° I would have denied the possibility but somehow it seemed like a reasonable thing to do. I was also pretty impressed with the picnic we managed to put together-- salmon, mint basmati rice, brie, grapes, pears, salad with lots of color, hot chocolate, chocolate almond clusters. It was a pretty good way to spend the afternoon
