Hey guys!
Well again I have a few stories to tell. Its a bit late so i've probably forgotten a lot of it.. well not forgotten but I wont describe it in detail. okay well firstly... my trip to SELDOVIA!!! muahaha. Oh first? ummm a brown bear killed a moose in someones driveway the other week but I think i've said that already. I have footage on my bebo.
Anyways, across the bay to Homer, there's a place called Seldovia. A little village which is very remote and you can only get there by boat or plane. Anyways normally it's a 15 min flight over the ocean and through the mountains to get there - landing on either the water - in a float plane or on a gravel runway haha. Anyways, the person I was trravelling with said to the pilot I was from New Zealand. SO the pilot took us a on a flightsee! We flew really low to the ground - abotu 200 feet looking for bears! - We found a Black bear! woot! That pic for this blog - thats me standing next to the plane i flew back in. Awesome plane adn the pilot was wicked! We landed on one wheel! Cause the wind wwas so strong. Anways over at seldovia I spent the day teaching in the school. Firslty wtih the k - 10 year olds in the morning - we went tide pooling and played g ames etc adn then in the afternoon was the older kids. it was awesome :D
Then Today, I went accross on the boat to the field station and I ran a group on my own! 3rd graders! so 8 year olds and i was their guide. We went tide pooling and i taught them about lots of different invertebrates. Oh and 2 of the students were visually impaired (blind) so that was interesting! They were really into it though and it was amazing how they could sense things around them without seeing ne thing.
Tomorrow i'm on the boat again all day donig a tour and then over at the fields t ation guiding for 3 days - 2 nights. I"ll stay over there again which is fun. Then i've finished volunteering! Well besides a party... thats it. So i'm booking a train (the denali star) to take me from Seward to fairbanks via Denali National park! So i'll spend a few days doing some crazy stuff in Denali and then head to Fairbanks - i nkow someone there so will stay there for 10 days or so and do stuff up there. THen i'll fly back or hitch to anchorage - then my canada holiday starts. Not too much longer to go b4 i get back to nz! anyways - i dont even know if anyone still reads this - but i'm gona leave it at that. If you wanna nkow more - email me :D see ya!
