Klemtu

Today was a different day for me.  I woke up and got out of bed when Sonja got up and went into work for 8.  45 minutes later it was off to Klemtu.  Since there is currently 3 people here and enough work for 1.5 I got to play tourist in Klemtu.  So the doctor and I went up to the airport to wait for our charter to leave.  While we were waiting the Telus corporate jet landed in Bella Bella.  It wasn't so much a jet as a regional float plane to take the techs to Klemtu and Ocean Falls today.

I was supposed to go and do whatever blood work the doctor needed.  But there was nothing to do.  So I went for a walk around the south side of the town.  I went up to the long house, but found out later that the guy who takes care of the place is up in Prince Rupert at the basketball tournament, so I only got to see it from the outside.  After I went back to the health center to see if there was anything to do yet.  Nope.  Nothing.  I was offered a computer to surf the net so thats what I did.  Eventually lunch came and we went to the cafe, doctor's treat.  It was good.  I had a burger of course, and I was full for a while.  After lunch I went for a walk again, this time to the north side of town.  I went to the salmon hatchery, but again no one was there, so no tour for me.  To get to the north side I walked over one of Klemtu's claim to fame: the longest board walk in North America.  There wasn't much on the other side, so I went back to finish off the day of waiting.  Eventually it was time to go.  The weather was changing pretty quick so our trip was cut short so we could actually get back to Bella Bella.  25 minutes later we were back and it was the end of my day.  So I came home and relaxed and waited for Sonja to come home.

For supper we had chef's salad.  It was pretty good but we were hungry again shortly after.  After supper I studied and Sonja called her sister Eva.  She talked for about an hour.  We are now just relaxing and getting ready for bed.
