Just to catch everyone up on some things that Sonja forgot to mention last night. While we were kayaking home Jim had a seal swim under his kayak, and then swam off. After the kayak trip we went for a walk down the street and we saw some guys carving some logs. They were hired to carve some logs into mini totem poles for some resort across the bay. They were made of second generation west coast cedar. These logs were huge, 36 inches across. It was surprising that trees are that big when they were likely 70 years old at the most. I can't even imagine how big old growth trees would be, being several hundred years old. We came home and watched the squadron of eagles fight over fish scraps left on the dock. That was cool because they would have the fish, and then another eagle would come from underneath flip themselves over and steal the chunk of meat from the other eagles talons. Then the new owner of the meat would drop it and the next eagle chasing him would pluck it up out of mid air and fly away with it. After all this we played Phase 10 and I lost pretty soundly.

Today was a pretty slow day for me. Mondays are apparently the slowest day of the week here so maybe it will pick up later in the week. Sonja and I had cereal for breakfast before going off to work. It was kinda cloudy in the morning as it clouded up last night and then started to rain. It actually rained for a few hours before clearing up and turning into a nice day. Jim and Lene spent most of the day in Shearwater. They took a walk this morning before heading over and were invited to swing by the cultural center sometime to learn about Bella Bella. Over in Shearwater they were looking for an excursion or fish trip or something that they could do to spend some time, but were told that most of those don't start up until later in the spring, so in a couple weeks after they leave here. But they were given a name of somebody here in Bella Bella who would probably take them around and maybe out fishing, so I think they are going to try to track this guy down tomorrow.

We had tacos for supper and Sonja and Lene did the dishes and then I came to start this blog. As I started to type this we noticed some eagle activity outside. Lene went out onto the deck with the camera, as she is determined to get the perfect picture of an eagle before they leave, and was waiting for it. Standing at the railing watching the commotion when a pair of eagles were fighting, falling from the sky right in front of her. She jumped and screamed and backed away from the railing. Her and Sonja were watching them fight over food some more.

We have no real plans for the night, as we are all kinda tired. Just watch the eagles and relax.

Thats all for now.
