Things so far

I've been in Alaska for a month now. Oh wow, I've done so much. I really need to post some pictures as soon as I get my new computer. The first week I was here I went deep sea fishing. Carrie and I pulled in a 121 pd halibut. It was hard, but so much fun. I've gone 4 wheeling on the beach and all over Gustavus. 2 weeks ago I saw my first bear and a few days later saw another one. The wild life here is amazing!
Last week a few of us canoed across the bay, about 2 1/2-3 miles to an island and hiked around a bit. That was very cool. The ground was covered in ferns and trees. It was straight out of National Geographic.
The work has been awesome. I wake up every morning excited to get in the kitchen and start cooking. Carrie and I get for the most part free rein in the kitchen, so we've have a lot of fun planing our menu.
The guest have been pretty cool for the most part. The only hard guest I've had so far has been a guy named Rick Turek, just kidding, it was really nice having a familiar face here and during my first week here. We did have some very interesting guys from South Carolina here a week and a 1/2 ago. They were not nice guys.
So that's it so far. I'm hoping to have many more experiences while I'm up here. There is a Husky ranch here, hopefully I'll get to go mushing. And, my birthday is in a few weeks, Woo Hoo I'll be 30!
So until next time, laters!
