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.
