tahoe sunrise

Most of the homes in Tahoe do not have air conditioning, so that tells you how great the weather is here. I woke up this morning because I was hot and could not fall back asleep. I was trying to figure out if I should fight my sleeplessness or do something else; remembering that one of my goals for the summer was to see a sunrise over the lake, I convinced myself to get out of bed because it would be worth it and headed out the door for a 3 minute walk.

Oh man was it glorious. Someone who is used to sunrises at Tahoe would probably have been severly disappointed, but I thought it was awesome.

I'll try to describe it (I forgot my camera at home).

I first walked onto the beach and it was incredibly silent. I couldn't even hear the waves. 

The mountains were all different colors of a dark blue. 

The pink streaks of light coming up over the mountains.

Baby geese went by me at their breakfast swim.

Okay, so the description is not up to par aka terrible. Instead, I found a picture that looked somewhat like this morning. Here goes....
