Been a good last couple of weeks. I went on a trip to Barrow, AK this week. Northernmost city in North America. Jumped into the Arctic Ocean and did several swim strokes. It was cold. Very cold. Ice had just washed on shore from out to sea. Ah it was refreshing, and creepy that for over an hour afterward, I couldn't feel my feet. I wasn't cold though after a few minutes after drying off. Well I joined the club, it was 34 degrees outside at the time of my plunge, I don't know about the water itself. Okay, well did that, now I've swam in every ocean, but from now on I'll avoid the Arctic ones.
Went to the State Fair in Fairbanks, it was a good time. Ate weird stuff like fried pizza which is completely unhealthy. Not as bad as the fried twinkies or snickersbars... I declined those altogether.
A month and a half to go. Cant lie, as much as I'd enjoy teaching in Korea... Living here in Alaska has been so much nicer. Its the being close to nature that I love, the mountains all around me. I may very well not go to Korea, instead opting for Mongolia. Ah to ride a horse from my ger everyday to work. I could live that way. Still want to spend some time with friends and family in the coming days when I get home, so that'll delay me a bit. It strikes me odd that I will be away for so very long after this trip, I want to see everyone that I can.
