Welcome to Darrell's Roundeo

Today was one the best days of my life.  The schedule said that today Austin, Randy, and myself, would be doing Fjord Line training.  I hate training.  It is pretty unorganized and worthless.  Today was no different.  It also was not training at all.  Basically we just learned how to get to the Fjord dock, then, we got to go on one of the Fjord boats and go whale watching for 3 hours.  Yes, I got paid to go whale watching for 3 hours.  That is the type of training I can get behind.  We saw whales, eagles, sea lions, seals, and the boat had this sweet salmon dip stuff with crackers and I gained 50 pounds.

            When I got home from “work” I went on a 4 mile hike with two of my roommates.  It was a biking trail and it made me drool.  Beautiful Tongass National Forest, and I had no bike.  We had fun jumping off of the tree stumps, logs, and man-made stumps.  We also saw a porcupine.  It started climbing a tree like a monkey.  I was impressed.  After that I made Mom’s burritos.  They turned out just like hers so I was happy.  My roommates were all very happy too and there were very little leftovers. 

            After dinner Randy, Austin Stance, and I, went and played 18 holes of Frisbee golf in the forest.  Basically you throw the Frisbee, and then get to jump around through a forest to get to your Frisbee and throw it again.  It's like playing frisbee golf on Endor with the Ewoks.  It is a blast.  Of course the Frisbee was always hitting trees, but it was still enjoyable.  Today was one of the best days of my life, and I don’t work until the afternoon tomorrow, so I can go to church!  Alaska is a great place, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
