14 minutes and 18 seconds

That is exactly how long I have on this whizbang airport internet computer complete with metal, yes metal, keyboard.  I must be driving the people in the departure lounge nuts with my sonic speed typing skills.

So it’s 3:50pm in the afternoon in snowy Anchorage as I wait for my overnight flight to New York via Seattle.  I plan to spend most of the flight sleeping but I probably in reality should spend the whole flight running up and down the aisles to work off the mountain of food that I have been fed by the Murray family this week, far out, it was enough to feed an African nation (somewhere like Swaziland though, and not as big as Ghana for sure…)

11 minutes left…

Yesterday we spent the afternoon out at Chris’ parent’s house.  They have a dog called Grace who was anything but.  I honesty thought they had a pet black wolf.  Seriously, I’ve seen Shetland ponies smaller than this dog.  Didn’t seem to bother Leora though, who was not threatened at all by this creature who could squash her with a carefully placed paw.  She ran around with that thing till the cows came home (or should that be bison?….).  Chris taught me how to ride a four wheeler and then set me free onto the back roads of Kasilof to explore cross country to my hearts delight.  I slid through slush and conquered canyons (okay, maybe ditches, but they were BIG ditches!) and thanks to a carefully placed camera in a tree and the wonders of autotimers, even managed to take some pics of Bad Biker Amy and her four wheeler.  I had so much fun that Chris came out in search for me, wondering if perhaps I had fallen prey to a psycho moose or a rabid bison.  I didn’t realise how cold it was out there until I had to talk to someone and found I couldn’t move my lips or remove my helmet with frozen fingers.  Therefore our conversation went something like….

Chris: Havin’ fun?
Me: Ah hammin agwea tah!  I SOOOOO mah fuh! Bah I ka gh mah hehwe ooo..

Get the picture?

Anyway, I’ll write more soon, I’ll be in New York for the next couple of days so I’m sure I’ll have lots more to say then, especially of my adventures with Christine,woot!

Love and Kisses
