Alaska week 2 ... and a half !!!

I know this is late sorry. I still can't believe that I am up here in Alaska. It is so intense up here. Everybody works so hard and nobody complains!! It's amazing... the other day we were working in the dog lot repairing houses and no more than three feet away from me on the tree lands a Bald Eagle!!! I was so shocked and amazed! But to everyone else it was just a passing thing, "It happens all the time." But for me, a little kid coming from Ohio, seeing a Bald eagle is kind of crazy. It still confuses me when its 9:30 p.m. and the sun is still high in the sky. It's amazing !! Alaska is so beautiful when it snows. I was in the middle of the field here with Cozmo and we both just kind of stood and watched. Even Cozmo seemed to be in awe at how great and majestic everything looked. We went to Seward the other day. I thought Alaska was amazing before. The drive down there was awesome. I saw a moose, I saw Mountains, I saw Mountain Goats, and I saw so much stuff that you can't see anywhere else. I couldn't believe that I got to see all this and a few weeks ago I was in Ohio!! Words really can't describe what it was like. (Which is why I took pictures!!) This is one place that I think everyone should visit at least once. Once we got to Seward it was equally as cool. The harbor is right there and if you've ever seen the Discovery channel show the Deadliest Catch, almost all those boats lay anchor in that port. There were Ravens everywhere! Made me think "Where are Vulcan Raven and Snake??" (Video game reference!) It is just incredible. Like I said you got to check the pictures to see. Cozmo is doing great he loves his new friends and I even think he has made a Girlfriend!! Well I gotta go do some more work I'll keep all of you that actually read this posted!!Until Next time May the Force be with you!!!
