Once Upon A Time There Was Metaphor Fairy tales are all about doing metaphor. There is a time when every small child realizes that the witch in the swamp is not that bad because the witch is only a metaphor for the bad things that could happen to you if you aren't careful. Of course if the word metaphor is presented to the child the child will deny it's existence for the child is too busy living in the moment. Are you scared yet? Well you should be! fairy tales • witch • swamp • cinderella • hansel and gretel
Take The Road Less Traveled Historic George Inlet Cannery is one of the best-kept secrets of Southeast Alaska, where you can experience life as a shanghai'd Chinese worker living on opium rations in trade for hard labor and shelter. Fish pirates infested these waters in the early 1900's and many a man lost his life protecting profit or livelihood. Now, Killer Whales stops by to see what's interrupting the quiet after half a century of abandoned silence. Settled in the heart of Alaska's rainforest, the adventure furthers itself by inviting you to take off from the cannery docks via floatplane to Misty Fiords. Majestic snowy crags leak showers of crystalline rainwater into the ocean, streaming from lakes formed in the natural basins at their feet. It's not uncommon to spot Mother Black Bear bringing her cubs for a drink, or a heard of Dahl mountain goats perched high on a cliff-side, stopping to watch the noisy plane pass by. travel • alaska • akasla • artic • arctic
