One Week Late Post....voting, Native Tacos, Salmonberries and Salmon!

This post is a week late in coming so apologies! Dan is on Vacation and so On top of a hotel full to bursting, I have a few more responsibilities. Busy Busy week that has not left much time to have any fun with CD, AG and the Gang. Still, There were a few nice days this week. And How many people get to exercise out most fundamental right, The right to Vote, at a place with a view like this?
So on Tuesday I gathered up a group of Hotel workers and headed off to City Hall to Vote.

Yes, Even here on the very edge of the Bering Sea, Democracy Marches on.

+Week+006.jpg"> And some of my favorite people were there like Gert Svarney...........


And CD, who was there to volunteer.
In the good news category, God And Saint Michael the Archangel Came through for me again. The Results of the Blood Test on the Person who's needle I got stuck with came back clean. So Bye Bye Anti-Virals and Hello Good Night's Sleep!

Of Course my overcompetitive side came out..............


And in the end I came out with the fullest bucket!



The Next day it was off Berry Picking again, this time with CD solo on Bunker Hill soon to be joined by Alicia. Yes, the Berry Bushes are taller than CD!

Two Full buckets Before Heading off to Pick up Alicia.

Ballyhoo was pretty much a bust for berries.........
And there was this really creepy bunker..........

Still the Day was beautiful...........

....But still the Berries were calling.......so Back to Bunker Hill.

5 Buckets to celebrate with at the Unisea Grill , Where hungry Berry pickers go!
And Now for some videos of the Fish the Berries are named after!



Have a Great week Everyone!

the pictures came out great though. Those berries look delicious. Looks like a fun week. So very happy that you don't have to take those horrible meds anymore. HUGS

the berries look fabulous and thank you for taking the time to get the hotel employees to the polls...I will never understand those who can't be bothered to exercise their right to vote...there is nothing more important for us to do than vote...

CB and CD have fun eating/preserving all the bounty. Each looks rich in nutrients. Are the bushes thorny like rasberry bushes are? I don't recall any thorns on the one CB and I hiked through last month.

You so deserve the sunshine in Unalaska

CB so glad good news on the blood tests and the fact you can go off the antivirals yahoo. Salmon berry picking loads of fun CD sent me some of the salmon berry jam very yummy. Those bushes have those big thorns but worth the sticks for the berries. Love the salmon videos wow the fish are so amazing. Great photos of the beach walk love the puffins. I hope your week eases up soon. have a great week and take some CB time.

Как говорилось на Seexi.net вопрос в заголовке. в интернете нахожу разное -- от 80 евро за 6 пассажиров 30 минут, до 80 евро за человека 30 минут. кто знает, как там действительно?
