Last blog mentioned our trip to Fairbanks, that ended on Tuesday and we flew back into Anchorage. In Anchorage we went shopping at two different malls as well as went out to eat a few times and just explored. It was nice to be out of the village with friends just doing things at our own pace. Before leaving Anchorage, I finally got to eat at the Moose's Tooth which everyone talks about when mentioning Anchorage, so I was pretty excited. It's a pizza place in Anchorage that is pretty nice---quite enjoyable.
After Anchorage, it was to Bethel for some quality time and relaxation. The senior high basketball team was in Bethel for the district tournament. There were 8 boys teams and 8 girls team there and a 3 day tournament. It was very exciting to watch the team-On Friday I watched Quin v. Kong. This was a very exciting game and good for the boys because they had played them earlier in the season and only lost by one point, so winning this time, was big. On Saturday we headed back to the gym to watch Quin v. Tununak. This game also was very exciting and went into overtime!--basketball is big around here and there were people from all different villages there to support the different teams.
It's hard to believe that it is already March---soon our contracts will be due for next year, the state testing, prom, graduation----and it will be time to end this chapter of my first year of teaching.
That's all for now---
downtown Anchorage I think
another new animal for me to see on the trip
