The weather early this week was gorgeous! Shorts and tanks tops weather. On Monday after work I paddled out to get some photos of SV Thalia. What a gorgeous boat!
On Tuesday nite I attended the Cello-bration at the Sitka Fine Arts camp. Wow! Amazing, fun music in beautiful Allen Hall. One/half block from my apartment. On Wednesday, I heard a great talk from a climate scientist on global warming. He was an entertaining speaker, and the topic is so interesting. this was followed by a documentary film about the work of Ed Rickettes, who cataloged many species of ocean shore life in the native habitats. it was well done and interestings.
quiet since then. Out for a drink and dinner on Friday and a brief stop at work on Saturday morning, then the healthclub at work. Errands. Spectacular presentation of Guys and Dolls at the Sitka Fine Arts Center last nite by the Sitka Fine Arts camps students. There was even a live orchestra. The play was so well done. I went with my new friends Dave and LeeAnn. I have been here long enough now that I saw several people I know there.
Now I am off to the rainy boat ride and I have my fingers crossed for a break in the rain. Met Dave and Lee Ann at the boat and off we went in the rain with a full boat of bird watchers. it was a rough ride. I had three ginger chews, which are amazing for motion sickness! The rain slowed down, and we did see lots of birds, sea lions, sea otters, jellyfish, and Eagles. There are lots of Eagles in Alaska!
this last lovely cruiser is the National Geographic Sea Lion. There was a lucky group of folks on board cruising SE Alaska waters and learning about wildlife in SE Alaska. Apparently it is quite a nice boat with a lovely crew!
Nice ending to a rainy week!
SO enjoying this, Katy.
