Julie - that Marathon sounds crazy! I couldn't help but laugh reading it because I could actually hear you telling the story. :)
Your pictures really show everyone what it is like in Alaska. A beauty most people will never see! You are so lucky, and enjoy the rest of your time there. We all miss you so much and are counting down the days until your return!!!!
I once again have to say the pictures are great! I hope you continue to take many more and keep up the great blog. My window view of the lake is nothing compared to the scenery you are experiencing and the great physical workout you get daily!
Julie! The pictures and stories are absolutely amazing. It looks so beautiful there. The $3 PBR cans are a little depressing though.. haha. We miss you so much here but I am so happy for you that you are able to experience all of this! Love you!
Fishing Guides Julie
Tell me the name of your guides there. My neice is married to a guy who is a guide I am pretty sure out of Kenai? His wife would be Sheila and they have 3 boys. Sheila's dad is my brother. He actually lives in Valdez and I have a sister who is in Anchorage. She works for BP oil and works right on the slope. My brother lived in Whittier for awhile. It is pretty amazing there isnt it? Glad you are having such a good time!! You will remember this for the rest of your life!!
Julie, your trip to Anchorage sounded like so much fun! I cant't believe the people that were there! All your pictures are so beautiful. I especially like the one of you and your mini fish. Haha! But oh my gosh - that salmon is HUGEEEE!!!
Keep up the good work in Alaska. :) Can't wait to read your next post!
You are too funny!!! If all you catch are hooligans, you'll have no need to watch the pounds!
The views are great! How long is the Whittier Tunnel?
Keep blogging!
Julie!! Sounds amazing, the pictures look like postcards! Maybe you could make that a separate business venture while you're out there, haha. MISS YOU!!! (so does Stewart!) I will e-mail you some pictures of him soon. It's so weird not living with you! I'm so excited that Alaska is great! :) and I hope you don't have to use the bear bell, haha.
WOW! How exciting your trip sounds! Think of the great stories you will be able to share with your students! I really admire you for going out there on your own. It has to be strange going from UWM and MPS to the great outdoors! The blog is great and I will be checking in to hear more stories!
Julie - Your trip sounds fantastic!!! I was SO excited when I got an email that you posted a blog!!! I love the pictures you posted, they really show the beauty of Alaska and the mountains. It is crazy to be in a whole different scenery because we don't have a mountain line to look out at every day - you are so lucky! I think your hiking adventures were very brave of you...good thing a bear didn't find you and eat you. ;) I can't wait to hear more from you, we all think of you every day and miss you so much! Have so much fun - you will have the time of your life!!!
I am a college student and will be graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in December 2008 with a degree in elementary education. Before I graduate I need to do something exciting so I will be spending this summer living and working in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula. This is the first time I have done something like this so I hope it turns out to be a good experience.
