Absolutely beautiful

I can hardly believe this is going to be my home for the next 6 months. While flying in on the plane, two words came to mind: absolutely beautiful. The sky was sunny and the area is made up of a series of mountains and hills that descend into the ocean. The view alone was enough to make up for the fact that I had just traveled for over 13 hours.

My boss, Tory, and a colleague (Laura) were on my flight from Seattle. Once we landed we took a short ferry to the main island. Even though the sun was out and it was fairly warm, there was still snow on the mountains. We then drove to our company zip line camp, which consists of a general store, a totem pole making shop, a fenced in area with reindeer, and bald eagles perched on every roof top.

This morning I woke up to another sunny day! I don't have a place to live yet, so I'm staying at my boss and his fiance's home in the meantime. I walked the 50 minutes to the main downtown area this morning to meet Laura for some coffee and to explore our new home! Most of the shops are closed and the streets are very quiet this time of year. That will all change in the next month when the cruise ships start coming in. Tory told us the great news that its supposed to be a hot summer, which for any of you who know me is 'music to my ears'.

After a quick trip to the grocery store and taking Tory's dog, Chubs, for a walk, its time to relax. Until next time...
