Seattle


Because spending two months just wasn't enough we headed up to Seattle three days after we got back to have a little reunion with some AK peeps.
Angie is who we refer to as 'Mom' seriously she's amazing and knows everything about everything.
When I couldn't hear out of my left ear it was her who told me to pour hydrogen peroxide in it.
When Colin, Tane and myself couldn't get the tin sliver out of my hand it was her who told me to use pin bone plyers.
Anyways she's awesome and has never been to Seattle before and she lives like a half hour away. So we picked her up and made our way to the big city stopping first at the Library. Super cool building. I would read alot more if I lived close to it.

We took a Ferry ride to Bainbridge Island and back.

After we went to Pikes Place Market where we saw Cyde's future husband. (Cyde is a HUGE hula hooper.)
And met up with more of the 'Wolf Pack' which is what we called our little group in Ak.
David or brother wolf was the one who started it and Shantel was spending time in Seattle before she went back to Ohio!

After a couple tries, we finally found the gum wall!
I contributed!
Girls at the water front
Everyone loves to ride a Carousel
My face says it all!
Lauren always gets the award for best creeper.
I can't wait to see Angie and Shantel again.

But the fun didn't stop there. We headed home the 'less traveled way' which means no open gas stations at two in the morning and I needed several. Because of this issue I was exceding the speed limit and got pulled over and couldn't find the registration. But luckily no ticket! We saw like 4 herds of deer on the side of the road and ended up running over an already dead dog. =( I brushed my teeth to keep me awake and we finally made it home about 4. I love being young!

Here at PeterPan Seafoods...

Dillingham Season 3
 Pre-season it was nice.

Went to the lake where there was this awesome seaplane!

The last frontier is soo beautiful.

After the lake, Richard took us to the dump to go shooting.
Alot of the girls had never shot before so it was cool to see how excited they were.
The boatyard is still full of boats. Not a good sign preseason.
Arianna knew what was soon coming.

We had a late start this year and luckily nice weather. During evenings inbetween the bunk houses was the place to be.
Dillingham is a pretty small town, with two grocery stores and a bar and thats pretty much it.
So we had to entertain ourselves.
Good thing our awesome friend Cyde (like clyde without the l) found this hula hoop!
It kept us all entertained.
And yes that's Daniel, one of the Colombians I visited. He came back!

And here is Sarah who I met in Costa Rica!
Then one day the work began. This is what we looked at for 18 hours a day.
Rubber boots and concrete are tough on one's body.

We work hard inbetween checking cans!
It's pretty amazing how close you get to the people you work with. The line QA's! and our favorite machinest Kevin (who really is a QA at heart).
We even hung out with him outside of work! He is an incredible dancer. Fishermen came up and asked if we were ok and if he was bothering us. Never! Kevin may be an old alchoholic but he is one of the nicest funniest people I know.
It was incredible to see the Colombians again!

STUARTT! Has an awesome name.
There was even a cowboy!

One of my new besties is Cyde also known as Mustard!
It's soo hard to say goodbye to some of the people.
But luckily she only lives 3 hours away! Woohoo
It really is a special place. Where else can you make good money and meet people from all of the world?
Every year I say never again but we'll see. =)
