Yesterday afternoon I flew into town to see a doctor about this rash that has started to make my life miserable...we took bets to see what it was (because just like at home, everyone in coldfoot is also a doctor....lol). Turns out Kathy was right, the doctor thinks it an allergic reaction to the detergent we use at the camp. So I've got a prescription for some steroids and some cream to rub all over my itchy dry skin. Very happy it's not serious. Brian picked me up from the NATC office, and kindly took me around to run my errands. He even took me out to a fancy dinner!! (Thanks again Brian!!) We went to the Pump House, and I had a very delicious beer and a smoked salmon and shrimp curry pasta. Omg the salmon was amazingggggggggggg!!!! I don't even remember what Brian ordered I was so into my own meal. After that we did some shopping at Fred Meyers, where I spent too much money on things I needed...or I hope I need...tequila factoring into that. Tequila is a necessity for those of you wondering. It is. I swear. (Sorry mom and dad) Anywho..I arrived at Billie's around 8 and started to unpack lightly and change. Couldn't decide what to do so I asked another girl staying here where the closest bar was. Turns out its about half a mile down the road...score. This place is called the Marlin. College bar in college town, UAF is literally across the street. I met some cool dudes and we all got to talking about where we came from, why we're here, where we're going...one of them works for Princess Lodges, the other is waiting to fly out to Eagle I think, to work for the national park. Very cool people, and it seems like everyone there knew everyone there, or at least pretended to. I felt like I knew them too...weirdness. So one pizza and order of cheesy bread later we were ready for bed an all parted ways. I'm pretty sure I woke up everyone when I got back to billie's. I'll post a few pictures of the place soon. That's my night in town! Flying back home to coldfoot around 7pm. Can't wait to be back actually... Xoxo Suz
