Our new adventure

Finding a place to live month-to-month for a reasonable (for Sitka) price was a huge blessing, and when we got the van off the ferry and moved in, we realized what a blessing this place was!!! I don't know if we'll be staying here much longer, it won't be possible to stay here for 3 years, so we'll probably move sooner than later to be settled somewhere. It is an awesome home and has made it more exciting to be here..... I think what I love the most is the view.

The day after we started to move in, we went on the last Conservation Society boat tour, going through Sitka Sound around some nearby islands. It was a Gorgeous day, sunny and clear, sixties, and a perfect day for boating. This pic is a view of leaving Sitka.

We saw a bunch of sea otters, a sea lion, and some whales!!!! The coolest part of course was the whale; it was too fast to get a pic. RD and Reese saw one in the islands, and we all saw one several times in the sound. Once it came up about thirty feet away, it was so close, it was awesome. The boat's humming put Cameron to sleep for most of it, but he did get to see the animals!

The sun was setting as we got back to Sitka, blazing yellow then fading behind Mt.Edgecumbe and silhouetting the Japonski Island bridge, ending a beautiful day. We were left on the dock exclaiming with wonder, we live here!

Then it rained for the next whole week. We live here?!
