We are sitting at Baja Taco eating our last meal in Cordova. Our last work day went well, we finished everything we wanted to accomplish. After some iffy weather eleven of us went 'flight seeing' on a float plane wednesday afternoon, which was unbelievable. We worked late, and Sarah G threw together our leftover eggs, cheese, and salmon and made everyone delicious fritattas. We packed up and got ready for our fishing day. The girls went out around midnight last night to experience mid-night light which was beautiful and surreal and cold so we took a couple pictures and ran inside. Today, our fun day, was rainy and cold. Sara M, Sarah G, Alice, Cameron, and Sarah E got up at 6:30am to take one last early morning walk down to the harbor. Sam, Ian, Skyler, Chelsea, Cameron, and Jean went hailibut fishing, and Jean, Skyler, and Cameron caught fish! Joy took Tony, Sara M, and Lauren fly fishing, but no one caught anything. Alice, Andrew, Sarah G, and Sarah E decided the weather was too gross to be on the water and spent the day quietly, taking walks, cleaning, doing last minute errands and last minute work at St. Georges. We got hot chocolate as a treat. I think everyone enjoyed themselves in their various ways. We are now all packed, all our stuff is in the cars, and we are finished with everything we are going to finish. Barbara, Neva, and Joy held a little ceromony for us, and gave us beautiful wooden crosses and t-shirts to say thank you. As if we need a thank you, we are so lucky to get to come here, and experience this beautiful place, we were happy to help. Everyone here is Cordova has been so nice to us, and it really is indescribably beautiful, my only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Our flight to anchorage is at 8, and after dinner we head to the airport. Tonight we are staying at a hostel in Anchorage, and tomorrow we fly home. We get on the plane home around noon, and get home on flight 476 due in at 8:15pm at the humphrey terminal. We are all exhausted, Sam appears to be napping on the table next to me, and as excited as we are to see our families, we are all sorry to leave.
Which is exactly how it should be.
