Today I found out first hand why people love living here (in Kodiak that is). It was the most beautiful day. The temperature reached a whopping 72 degrees.
On a sad note, Andy had to ship out this evening. But, I will not focus on that b/c that is the whole reason we are here and the reason we (American's) can all sleep comfortably at night. I did get a great tour of the HUGE ship and got to help him organize his locker and rack (bed). It is truly amazing to see all the Coasties in action on their boat.
Back to beautiful Kodiak.
It rains alot here but, the second the rain stops everyone is outside. I laugh b/c in Atlanta during time of year, I am chasing the shade. I would literally zig zag my way through a run trying to stay out of the sun. Here, I am chasing the sun.
Yesterday, Andy and I went for a hike in not so perfect conditions but, it was great. I counted 5 World War 2 bunkers on our walk before we actually turned around. I am embarrassed to admit this but, I had to have Andy brush up my knowledge on the WWII; good thing I wasn't on the show Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.
I am not feeling especially whitty tonight so I will leave you with some pictures of the bunkers, mountains and the dogs on the not so perfect day. Tomorrow I will post pics from Andy's ship and from the perfect day here today.
We/I are still living in the hotel and waiting for our goods to arrive. But like I said before I left "At least I have a great view."
Many hugs
Nancy and Andy
P.S.
I tried to upload more pics but, I am on the hotels internet so this is all I could get!
