Ben and Jenalyn

Here are my friends, the Greenwoods. They are up visiting "me", and hiking the chilkoot trail this weekend. On Monday I'm going to take them on a tour with me.

I've known Ben since I was fourteen. He and Jenalyn visited me when I lived in Virginia too, so it's pretty fun that here we are, a few years later, hooking up thousands of miles away. I'll be spending a few days with them in Sitka before I leave Alaska.

I Love My Weekend Job Too

All I can say is that it was an amazing day out at Glacier Point today. Perfect glassy water.

Goodbye Rob

Be safe. I love you.

Have I Mentioned Lately . . .

How cute we are?

Because. We. Are.

Life in Skagway

Well, we've been in Alaska now for almost eight weeks, and we absolutely love it. Every work day we drop passengers off at places like this (although it's no longer snow covered):

And drive by waterfalls like this:

We see lots of these:


And experience "sunsets" like this:



We hike to places like this:


And this:


And this:


Isn't Alaska beautiful?


Oh, and we hang out in our two person hammock whenever we get a chance.

We also work a lot. I worked 97 hours in the last two weeks . . . and payday is on my birthday. We love it here.

Handsome Rob

Today Rob is going to start shaving away his beard. Having never grown it out before, he didn't realize that his curly whiskers would continually poke and itch him, so the beard must go.

He's chopping it in stages, so this afternoon he'll have a goatee instead of a beard. I think he's handsome with facial hair, so I'm hoping the goatee is more comfortable for him. :)

Look what I saw today!

The black bear was about twenty feet away! I saw him yesterday as well, and on the second time this morning I finally got a picture!

And . . .

Rob rode it kinda crazy . . . Well, we both did. There was a good portion of the afternoon where Rob sat on his seat backwards and I drove him around town. The tourists loved it. Best part of the day was when we took the tandem bike on the half pipe at the skate park.

Best. Day. Ever.

Smugglers Cove

Went for another hike today, this time to Smugglers Cove and the Pet Cemetary. It rained the whole time, but only a light sprinkle. We love it here.
