I have now been in Alaska for 4 days. And it's been cold and windy every single one of those days! I'm a Florida girl through and through so it's been kind of rough trying to adjust to having highs in the 40s in May. Also, we do not have wi-fi in the apartments so, as much as I hate to admit it, that's been a hard thing to live without. Fortunately, there's a little coffee shop nearby that has wi-fi so I've finally been able to create a new post!
All cold weather and lack of internet aside, it has been absolutely wonderful being here! Haines is a really small town in the middle of the mountains so there is tons and tons of beautiful scenery everywhere. Plus, everyone here is super nice and welcoming.

As of right now, 3 of the 5 interns for the summer are here. Myself, Claire, and Katrina are the 3 raptor interns that are here. There is one more raptor intern, Marjorie, and then one intern for the natural history museum that have yet to arrive. We're living in apartments above the museum and each of us, except the museum intern, has a roommate. I'm going to be rooming with Marjorie, who arrives next week, and Claire and Katrina are rooming together. So far it's been fun hanging out with these lovely ladies :) Today, we started our intern orientation and tomorrow we start doing some real work - cleaning out the birds' mews. Yay.
