"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Seward Day Two!

Mission Accomplished! I am getting my free boat ride tomorrow!
It's really safe too it is actually a catameran going out for a tour, so there will be tons of people on board....the only difference between them and me is that I got to go for free! haahaha. I think it's about a six hour cruise. It is gonna be sweeeeeeeeeet! Here's a picture of the boat that I will be going out on......



Today was a bit more overcast and gloomier than yesterday. But still beautiful. dI walked down to town today with the same girl as I did yesterday. I just walked around town for a bit then I headed over to the Alaska Sea Life Center. I was nice! Got some cool shots of the animals and just hung around there for a while. Afterwards I went back to the hostel to get some food. Read a bit then rode my bike into town. Chilled by the docks, and then headed over to the trail on the coast. Just on the beach for a while and read. Met some cool people and chatted with them for a bit. Met a lady from Las Vegas, and then an older man with his granddaughter from Seward. I did a lot of other random stuff today too, but its too much to write about! haha
There's a bunch of the people at the hostel tonight, probably because it's Friday. But I am meeting people from all over! Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, Canada....and of course the United States....haha










hahahaha






Cruise ship came into town today!




Saw two bald eagles in the tree by the park!
