Photos, Photos, Photos

Hi everyone,

Well, here are some more photos of the island of St. Paul, where I will be til August 29 or so, waving a carpal-tunnel inducing wand over thousands and thousands of halibut heads. But maybe you already knew that.

One of the bird researchers took pity on the pitiful, vehicle-less state of the employees of the Halibut Commission and drove our sad asses around the island yesterday. It was AWESOME!!! This place is amazingly beautiful when you can get out of town and to all the cliffs and beaches and dunes and things; unfortunately, the Commission provides one crappy mountain bike for the two of us, which on the gnarly dirt roads here doesn't take you far. Below you will find examples of the countryside, as well as a photograph of some Arctic poppies which are an unreal acid-yellow colour. I believe you might also see some cuuuuuuuute Arctic foxes. Oh, and the sign on the door of the grocery store.

Bye!
