I MISS ALASKA! I WANT TO GO BACK RIGHT NOW!

Peace Out Skagtown... bittersweet feelings

So this is it... I have about 3 days left here in Skagway. I am starting to get more sad as my departure date rapidly approaches! Yesterday me and the gals decided to walk around and take pictures and a few places that are very close to our hearts haha. I seriously can't believe I'm leaving in a few days... our last ship day is in 2 days so we're just cleaning up the store and getting ready to close up shop. I really hope I can come back here someday either on a cruise as a DANG tourist or just come visit for a few days that would be awesome! I really love it here, it's beautiful and so peaceful. I think it would be a good place to rest and rejuvenate, if anyone needs rehabilitation... go to Alaska haha. I think I'm gonna be really sad on Monday when I leave. It's ok though cause I took a TON of pictures and I bought way too much crap to remind me of the wonderful Skagtown. I'm really excited to come home and see my family and my friends! I'm definitely looking forward to it. Oh another thing, Hailey Norr who is in charge of all the interns for Del Sol called us the other day and said there are 2 positions open in Key West Florida from October 2nd to January 1st. I thought about taking it but decided it's probably time to go home but I may do another internship next summer, it's been a lot of fun and it's a great opportunity! Well this is probably gonna be my last post. It's been an amazing summer, I've learned SOOO much about life, love, happiness, sadness, decision making, and I've learned a lot about myself which is great. Being out here has also brought me closer to the Lord. I didn't have my family and friends to remind me to stay close to Christ, I had to do it all on my own and it made me realize that I really do need His love and guidance in my life and I'm so grateful for the chance I had to grow and become a better person and come to know Christ better. I know without him I would be so lost and confused, I'm grateful for prayer and scriptures... it doesn't matter where you are, as long as you have those 2 things you're good to go!! Well it's seriously been the most amazing summer and I couldn't ask for a more awesome experience! I miss everybody and I'm so excited to see you all! See ya in a few days!!

Good Ol Del Sol

And I am coming home! Hooray, I'm so excited. I really need to leave Skagtown cause I'm starting to go a little bit nuts. I will definitely miss it here though. It's so peaceful and laid back! But ya I think I need to come home... for my sanity!

This is what happens when I'm bored... I gotta get outta here!

Little Red Caboose

Me and Ali got to go on the White Pass train that travels from Skagway up to Canada. It was a 3 hour train ride so we bought some goodies and hopped on board! It was a lot of fun and we took some crazy fun pictures! P.S. 3 more weeks.. yay!

Fishin and Swimmin

I did some interesting things this week. First off the other day we decided to go fishing but we didn't have a pole or a license so we fished with out bare hands. We're right in the middle of the Salmon Run so there are a BUNCH of salmon in the Skagway River. Pretty sure me and Ali almost caught one too, it was huge and it wasn't afraid of us at all, I was like kicking it and it still wouldn't move haha, and no it wasn't dead. Then last night was Kendra's last night it Skagway so we went to dinner at Fish Co. then me and her decided we were gonna go swimming in the freezing cold ocean. So at about 9 o'clock we went for a dip. Yes it was freezing, I don't recommend it to anyone! It was a cool experience though, and now I can say that I swam in the  Pacific Ocean in Alaska!!

Ya, that was cold

Our legs are bright red from the frigid temperature of the river

I found a pile of rope which means a good photo op!

I decided I'd sing on the sidewalk for money.. all the tourists were walking by going back to their ships.... notice my camera case sitting next to my feet. Ya I didn't get any money

Here we are before we got in the water

Here i go...

I'm pretty proud of myself!

I am wondering why I just did that

Sepia Tone Loving

Yesterday we went to Yacatania Point and had a campfire. We made tinfoil dinners that turned out pretty good! We had fun taking pictures in black and white and sepia haha. It was Jenna's last night so we thought we should all do something fun. Kendra leaves this week so then there'll only be four of us left. We're gonna miss them!

Weekend in Juneau!

I had an awesome weekend. Me and Noah went to Juneau for a few days to hang out before he flew home to Indiana. We had a lot of fun exploring and goofin around. We took a 6 hour ferry ride there which was kinda long but it was cool! Then that night the company he works for had a free whale watching excursion so we got to go on that and see some whales. It was like a four hour long tour which was kinda long. The first couple hours were cool though haha. We did a lot of shopping there were some cool stores in Juneau, I found a couple antique shops which I was STOKED about!! The last day we went on a hike that was uphill the whole way and it kicked my butt but it was cool. At the top of the mountain is a restaurant and gift shop and a tram that takes you back down and that was way fun! Then this morning I took a way early flight back to Skaggy on a little 4 passenger plane, I got to sit up front and be co pilot so that was cool but pretty sure I fell asleep on the way haha I was sooo tired but ya it was an awesome trip and it was cool to get out of Skagway for a couple days but I'm glad I'm back! 

On the Ferry to Juneau

This guy is creepy

Yay for Gelato!!! Holy cow this was good!

That's right.... go to church!

Here we are in the cool church, pretty sure we aren't supposed to take pictures but what the heck

Here's downtown Juneau from atop a mountain

At the top of the mountain... that hike was a killer

The airport.. sad
