Last night Laura and I took a taxi to Cebu City to get a break from the boat repairs, and to see some of the area. It was so nice to stay at an air conditioned hotel, and quite reasonable at 1000pisos ($20 USD).

Today we had breakfast at a little cafe, and walked to one of the many internet cafe’s in the area to email. I have taken many photos so far, but I forget to bring a cable to upload them from my camera. Next time. The weather here is hot and humid, but so far we have had no rain. That season is supposedly in the late fall, so hopefully I will miss it. Right now I’m not exactly sure where this journey will take me. Everyone knows that my plans are subject to a change at any moment! But, in this high-tech world, it should be easy to let everyone know where I’m at.

By the way, only 3 days left until I’m in Cebu!

Thursday afternoon I caught a flight (bush plane) from Cordova to Chitina. We hugged the Copper River the whole way, and the flight was amazing. Once in Chitina, a crew from camp picked me up and brought me to the Canyon Creek site. I got the camp internet up Friday morning, and then drove a new 175 hp jet skiff down river 80 miles to the Baird Canyon site to set up their internet. Then, Saturday morning was back to Canyon Creek to install a wind generator and get the solar running. This camp is where I’ll be staying until I head for Cebu. I got word yesterday that my camera arrived in Cordova, and will be delivered here on Monday. Yahoo! I will post some pictures as soon as it arrives. It’s very cool to be out here and still connected to the internet.
