Hey Guys!!
Well, HAPPY EASTER!!! haha Umm I didn't really have much of an Easter, it was cool though, I just chilled with Courtney and Kara which was fun. Anways, it is now monday morning (1 10 am) so I can't say "yesterday" but on saturday alaskan time, I went on my first "Work Party". It consisted of going accross Kachemak Bay on a boat to Peterson bay where the coastal centre has a field station. I"ve taken some photos of it as you should be able to see. Anyways, it consisted of starting to prepare for the field trips. So, some of my jobs were - walkiong the trails with a chainsaw having to clear falled trees to clean the trail (we had to wear snow shoes because the snow, well it was very deep even with them on), had to climb on top of these bunks to break these huges pieces of ice, and a few other jobs. It was lots of fun!! I even saw tracks of either a bear or some other large mammal - we weren't too sure. Lots of people were talkign to me about nz and what its like - adn saying my accent is wicked haha. I didn't even think I had an accent. They were also asking about different expressions we have in nz like one being 'thats my shout" - meaning its on me. They have never heard that before and were quite amused haha.
Today, well I was quite tired after saturday and went to bed late also, so i slept in a bit, and I hung out with kara and courtney mostly and started planning a little trip - maybe to go white water kayaking but i'm not too sure yet. Lots of the touristy activities aren't open yet as it is still too cold.
Oh another moose encounter - tonight when I was leaving my cabin to ride my bike to the coastal centre to meet up with Courtney and Kara, well i rode about 20 metres and a moose was right in front of me, so i turned around and went back to my cabin to get my camera. I took some videos and some fotos hiding in a bush haha. But moose don't seem to like it when you walk right past them so I thought i'd wait a bit until it moved off. BUt.. it was there for hours so I ended up just staying in my cabin for a while and made myself some dinner. Anyways i'm gonig to bike back to my cabin now - its 1 30 am and its pouring with rain.. haha. GOing to be amusing. Catch y'all later!
Peace
