Here is another sporadic update!
First order of business, I got my flight itinerary today! It looks like I will be flying from Anchorage to Chicago to D.C, and then as a group we fly to Paris and then Istanbul! Also we have a seven hour layover in Paris, so I am hoping we will go out into the city, even if it's only for an hour. Getting my itinerary today, is weird. This adventure seem so far away, but these are thoughts for another post.
Onward! So my grandparents came up for my graduation, they're from upstate New York. Since they came up, we went fishing and yesterday we went downtown! Looking at all of the tourist shops and everything. It was really fun because I have great ideas for host family gifts! Also the fishing was really great, we went Halibut fishing and, unfortunately we didn't catch that many fish because it was early in the season, but it was still fun! So here are pictures from the fishing trip and from going downtown yesterday!
Warning: This blog contains pictures of dead fish, if you do not believe in killing/eating animals and do not want to/look at pictures of dead ones, stop reading. If this warning doesn't apply to you, then read on!
Mountains on the drive down to Seward!
First fish caught of the day! This isn't a Halibut, we caught other fish on the boat, as well!

Then yesterday we went downtown. It was super fun, we got Reindeer sausage (yes they are actual Reindeer) from this vendor who is famous in Anchorage for sauteing onions in Coke-Cola! It was really good. Here pictures from yesterday!
This is a really historic sign. It was one of the few things standing after the 1964 earthquake.
Here is the famous Reindeer vendor. On the left of the picture is my dad and sister, on the right is the vendor.
My food! It was so nice sitting downtown, eating this and the sun was shinning, it was fabulous!
Spring has sprung! Okay maybe not spring, but definitely summer!
So that's about it. It was really nice to do touristy things and hang out down town. In other news on Friday I have a graduation party for my friend, and I'll probably make a post about that. After that I will write a post about studying abroad and my feelings and that sort of thing. I have 34 days left until I leave!
Till next time,
-Sarah
