🌃☀️ This is what MIDNIGHT looks like in Anchorage, Alaska, y'all! Right now there are about 21 hours of sunlight and only 3 hours of darkness each day. 😳 This constant light coupled with the time difference, really messes up our circadian sleep schedule making it difficult to 😴💤. We are constantly tired because the sun goes down after midnight and rises around 3:40am.

Why does this happen? " The Earth makes a 365-day orbital journey around the sun. While orbiting the sun, Alaska is tilted about 23 degrees from a straight up and down position. The tilt keeps our planet pointed in the same direction all year long as we move around the sun. During the summer months in the northern hemisphere, the Earth faces toward the sun. In the winter, the opposite is true. The day Anchorage is most directly pointed toward the sun is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Summer solstice is always June 20 or June 21."

Day 1 of our Alaskan adventure!

Today we went glacier hiking just south of Anchorage! To say it was an amazing experience is such an understatement! In this video, about an hour into the hike, we were able to capture and drink the pure glacial runoff as it melted. This water was so crisp and pure and naturally filtered....believe it or not, it was fairly warm on the glacier so this water break was so refreshing 💦💧

Wheels up for us again! Romania was so nice, we had to do it twice! 🇷🇴Our 2nd trip to Romania in the last 45 days. Great food, wonderfully kind people. Cluj Napoca is also fairly inexpensive and not very touristy which is nice. A couple of days there for us and then headed to the south of France. Ohhh la la

In Rome, Italy 🇮🇹: What a blessing to be able to take my mommy and son to see the infamous Colosseum in person! In its heyday more than 55,000 people would gather at the colosseum to watch brutal gladiator competitions and religious ceremonies in later years.

In Rome, Italy 🇮🇹: When in Rome.....Today we took a private cooking class with a local chef, Alessandro, who taught us how to make homemade pasta and tiramisu from scratch! 🥙🍛🍲 Omg...the food we made was absolutely amazing!! True Italian cooking is so different from the boxed pasta and jar sauce elsewhere in the world. It's so fresh and light. Ya'll would never eat at Olive Garden restaurant again after eating in Italy. 😁 I would endeavor to make fresh pasta more often at home...but all the kneading and rolling the dough got a sister like 💪

In Rome, Italy 🇮🇹: I snapped this photo as we arrived at the Colosseum in Rome, Italy (the largest constructed amphitheatre during the Roman Empire). This cross was erected by the Catholic church in remembrance of the many Roman Christian martyrs that were persecuted, burned alive, killed, and fed to wild animals in the Colosseum. The location of the cross is also the location where emperors sat during gladiator competitions in the Closseum. For me, this cross is a reminder that He can be found in all things big and small. ✝️

In Cluj, Romania 🇷🇴: The history of Christianity in Romania can be traced back to the 3rd century where many Christians were martyred because of their faith. Today, there is evidence of this region's deep religious faith via the hundreds of relic edifices dotted all over the land. The vast majority of Romanians follow the Orthodox church while others follow the Catholic church.

Cluj-Napoca is the 2nd largest city in Romania. Cluj is not as well known as its sister city, Bucharest, but it's just as charming. 💜

Best thing about Cluj, Romania #1🇷🇴: Throughout all my travels, I can say hands down that Eastern Europe has some of the best Christmas markets! Although it's not one of the largest, Cluj's holiday market is up there with the best of them with great food, great atmosphere, lots of fantastic, unique gifts, ice skating, amazing live bands every day, and wonderful friendly people.🎄🎅🎁

Cluj is also big, big, big on holiday spirit. We were surprised that EVERYWHERE we went, they played classic American Christmas music-- all day, every day....even though most people don't speak fluent English. 😁 With all the "Jingle Bell Rock" we felt like we were back in America. No matter if we were in a restaurant, the mall, a taxi, or an Uber... Mariah Carey to The Temptations, Celine Dion to Johnny Mathis was blasting from somewhere .day.long!

Weirdest thing in Cluj, Romania 🇷🇴: Today we visited one of the oldest known salt mines in the world, thousand of feet underground. This Turda salt mine in Cluj, Romania was first opened more than 900 years ago in the year 1075! For hundreds of years since then, workers hand dug and carried table salt out of this mine to the surface.

Most bizarrely, once we descended about 175 stairs and took 2 elevators subterranean deep down in the mountain, at the base of the mine there is an "amusement park" with ferris wheel, playground, bowling lanes, table tennis, lake with paddle boats, and billiards tables. It's all very eerie and surreal...😯

Millions of kids don't receive an education in India due to extreme poverty. My friend here runs the FREE school in the heart of the Delhi slums that Tyler and I volunteered at and took school supplies and clothes. Everything they provide for the children, including the basic rice meals for lunch, hair and sewing classes for older girls, hygiene supplies, etc. is courtesy of donations. Without this makeshift school, many of the children living in the slums would never see a classroom, receive a meal for the day, or even be given a hug...the PETE school is a place which is really a safe space and outlet away from the chaos of their daily life. Stay tuned....we will be working together on a major future project to expand their reach.

There are still snake charmers in some places in India. We saw this guy charming a cobra at the doorstep of someone's home while we were walking in the slums. Most people don't know that the snake has no "ears" to hear the music being played...instead they are "hypnotized" by the movement of the pungi (flute), perceving it as a threat.

There are approx. 8 million children living in India's slums. More than 50% of them do not attend school on a regular basis. Many of these children begin working as young as 4 years old to help support their families. Here's a young (butcher) boy, cutting meat and selling pieces of it to others in the slum to help support his mom and siblings. Notice the abundance of flies on the food-->There is absolutely no water for sanitation and no way to clean the meat.
