Goodbye Valdez!

This morning I am leaving Valdez, AK, which I have been lucky enough to call home this summer. I've had some amazing adventures and met some truly wonderful people here. Goodbye to everyone at the museum (and their families) - you've all been a pleasure to work with and get to know this summer. Goodbye to my hiking buddies Scott and Don who have brought me to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and been so much fun to get to know. And goodbye to my friends at Anadyr, who not only brought me on some incredible kayak trips but have also become friends. Goodbye as well to Toni, who shared her home, her food, and her bicycle with me this summer. Thank you all for making this a summer I'll never forget!
