Here comes the rain...

This morning when I woke up at 6am it wasn't as bright as it usually is at that time. The rain finally came... A girl I met today who has spent the past several summers here compares Ketchikan to the 'produce aisle at the grocery store' due to the constant drizzle of water. As long as you have proper rain gear on, its really not that bad. In fact, the mountains look beautiful with the clouds hanging low over them. Reminds me of Scotland.

No one seems to know the password to the computer in the downtown office (the place that has been vacant since last season) so we have ordered a technician to come out tomorrow to hack into it. Until then, there is not much more work I can do to prep for the season. So this afternoon I headed back out to the zip line camp to help out in the store. It is currently filled from floor to ceiling with boxes of hats, wooden bears, books on Alaska, and the like. I helped fold several boxes of t-shirts and now have a new appreciation for those who work in retail.

Tory found a home for me today! It is a one bedroom apartment (which I will share with one other person) above a little store and is located right across from the docks (aka my workplace). It will be ready for move in next Wednesday. Currently the main entrance to the apartment is through an outside door on the second floor. However, there is no staircase leading to the door, so unless I put a ladder up against the side of the house I am unable to enter. Fingers crossed that they can build a staircase by next week!
