So, I'm now settled here and got my internet access set up. The apartment is only marginal at best, but I guess it'll do for the next two months or so. Can't say too much about work since I have only been there for a short time. The people in Alaska seem very friendly, I guess that the fewer people you have nearby the friendlier you get. Everyone also seems really excited to do hiking and other outdoors stuff. My supervisor told me that if the weather is nice, I should just leave work and go kayaking or something. It's going to be 84 and sunny today, which is warmer than I was expecting. Apparently this is what passes for a heat wave and everyone is excited and talking about the great weather. The city is right at the base of a giant and very steep mountain, and it ominously looms over everything. You can hear the cruise boat horns when they dock in the mornings. |
