Good Friday

It's been a pretty typical week in Haines, so not much new to write about. It's fun to be here this year when all the gears are just starting to turn. Most of the time I roll into town in May when everything is already cranking at full speed, but this year, I'm here early enough to see Haines while its still a bit quiet. 

Town these days is still cold, rainy, and at times almost errily quiet, but for me there is a certain amount of peace in that. I've been able to slow down a bit, take a deep breath and enjoy being in Haines before the chaos of the summer begins. 

Last night marked the opening of the Fireweed Resturant in town, which is located right next to our old offices. So last night a bunch of us walked down there after work to have the first pizza of the season. (and yes, Aunt Kathie, it was fantastic!) It was great to see people from all over Haines turn out for the season opener. 

18 Days until Duane gets to Juneau, and I couldn't be more excited. We'll have the whole summer together, with me working for AMG and he'll be working for Glacier Bay National Park. 

Not much other news for now, but the sun did peak out for a bit today, so here's a picture of our new offices in Haines. I'll try to get out and get some pictures of town as soon as the clouds break open for a few minutes!
