day 16 continued

wednesday morning was like every other morning pretty much. worked the hospital had the other interns over for bullwinkles pizza then finished up around 400. came home and sat on facebook until my friend travis that i had met the night before came over to go hike to salmon creek dam. I totally decked out my coach rainboots and even jumped in a giant mudpuddle in them. they held up well! it was about 2 hours back to the dam we were going to cook food there (pork wraps) but decided it probably wasnt the best idea to cook good smelling food back in bear country. Instead we hikedthe two hours back and cooked up the pork on my stove. Then my friend Brent was waiting for us (the tech intern at the hospital) to take me out kayaking in auke bay area. Travis and i finished eating and i said goodbye to travis (he is in the process of purchasing his own cafe right by the boat docks). Then brent drove me out to his house. we kayaked out to the same island we did last time however the tide was high and there were some strong currents so it was much harder... oh yeah! it was RAIning too!! so i was soaking wet! we were out on the water for about an hour, didn't see any sea lions or anything (boo) and retreated back to the harbor. then brents dad said the sauna was warm so we went into the sauna for like... forty five minutes. it was sooo warm! definately felt much better after being out on the freeezing cold water! about 1200 brent brought me back and i fell asleep rather quickly
