I feel like a real Alaskan after my first banya this week! A banya is a traditional Russian steam bath.
Our lovely hostess invited the ladies to join her for a rejuvenating sweat on Sunday night. My companions are all mothers and I enjoyed listening to their stories and wisdom about birth, life and parenting as we sat steaming.
I feel fortunate to have encountered so many interesting and fearless women up here on the Last Frontier...
(no, this is not a picture of me in the banya)

great post, Meghan! you inspired me to write about the banya on our blog. :)
reminds me of the lovely mud bath on the banks of the Green River last weekend with some other amazing ladies.
