Awesome

This is the only way to describe Alaska. On Saturday I went on a six hour boat ride to see wildlife, mountains, and some glaciers. We saw some amazing caving (the ice cracking and breaking) It sounds like thunder. When you're a half mile away, it takes a little bit to hear it. This is the tip of the proverbial iceberg of experience. I saw puffins, for example. They look pretty pathetic when they are flying. We also saw some sterling sea-lions. And orca. Killer whales. And porpoise. When you are seeing them directly beneath you, you know life has a porpoise. Heh heh. It was my first venture on a real vessel, and I only felt sea sick for a few minuets. Later that day we hiked up to a glacier. Exit glacier, to be exact, Google it. I went up and touched it. We were pretty tired after that. A few days later, we went bowling. On Saturday, the people who we went bowling with came over, and we saw Forbidden Kingdom (the movie with Jet Li and Jackie Chan). It's pretty good. Yesterday, we went red salmon fishing at the Kenai River. It was at my aunt's friend's cabin off of the river. I had the best salmon ever, the wild red salmon. you can't get it in Chicago. It's delicious. the method of catching it is really interesting too. Since the fish are swimming close to the bank and near the bottom, you don't cast, you extend the line until it's the right length and toss it down stream and let it float down the river. The fish swim upstream but don't actively search for food. They open and close their mouths, hoping to randomly catch food. Their sheer numbers are the only reason the style works. The only possible way to make that say better was to have s'mores, and catch a fish. I had s'mores. Only my uncle caught a fish.

Alaska

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I just really wanted those pictures. I have them now, so expect them on a sidebar after I'm done with the post. I've been having a lot of fun here in Alaska, but I haven't built up enough energy to stay up until midnight(when dark begins). I miss you guys at home, and I wish you well. as for what I've been doing, yesterday I went downtown and had reindeer sausage! I saw some really cool stuff, because with 30,000 people( half of the state's population), Anchorage is the biggest city in Alaska. Big cities always attract tourism, which generates tourist shops. We have gone to an off leash dog park every day so far ( my uncle has 3 dogs, Chico, Kiddo, and Troubles.). Yesterday we went to one circling a lake, and Troubles as swimming. The other dogs swam too, but only when the tennis ball was thrown in the water. Or if a rock was thrown. they would swim back only half way through. Troubles learned to swim last Saturday, the day before I arrived. My uncle likes to let Chico, a big energetic dog into my room to wake me up. The day I arrived, we went to the mountains near by, and played around. We went up a little further, and saw a big pile of snow. It's July here too, only with more sun and less heat. For those of you curious of how my first flight went, here are some details. It was 6 hours, and while that may seem a lot to you, my family drives to Des Moins Iowa, about a six hour drive, every year. It was like that, only with more leg room, a movie, and complimentary drinks. Not much else has happened here, but I might go on a cruise tomorrow to see the wild life. Hopefully, I will see a whale. I still have my self proposed responsibilities, so I do have today's website.

It's called things younger than John McCain. It's anti republican, so those of you reading this that are republican, if there are any, don't go to the site.

today's youtube is hilarious. Did any of you ever watch sesame street? have you seen the song of the count? Imagine that, only with all the words count (except his name) bleeped out. this is the result. something interesting about count the count, though, is that his obsession with counting may be based in fact. People used to hang fishing nets in front of their doors, so the vampire would be forced to stop and count the knots.

just a distraction while I get pictures from Alaska ( where I am right now).
