It has been raining here for at least three days now and it is supposed to stay like this all weekend. I haven't seen the sun in over a week and it is cold. I feel like I am suffering through another winter season. I have been told that it is actually a cold summer. I should have known that I would pick the cold summer to go to Alaska. I only have about 10 days left and I'm actually looking forward to the sunshine of home. I think I will lay out in my backyard in my new bathsuit, that hasn't been used yet this summer and get a sun burn. I think a little sun might do me good. You know how the sunlight gives us something our body needs (I forget what it is calle)? Well, I think I'm deficient.

And since it has been rainy and storming, I can't go out on a whale watching tour. I even heard there were 10 foot waves out in the fjord. That is crazy. Maybe that is when the surfer's get a chance to go out. But the water is so choppy that the small boat tours are canceled so I can't believe a person would be crazy enough to get into the water. I was going to hike AB mountain yesterday, but it just wouldn't stop raining. I heard there are blueberries for the picking. Maybe the weather forecast will be wrong and I will get to pick yummy berries this weekend.

It is getting dark here too. Last night was the first night that I really noticed night time. It didn't happen until about 10pm, but still, it actually was dark during the night. Maybe I will be lucky and see the Northern Lights. I guess I just have to look at the bright side of all of this. Dark and cold is the perfect conditions for the Northern Lights, I just have to hope the clouds will go away. I am going to make this the best week possible. There is still one more week, so who knows, maybe the weather will change in my favor!
