First Full Day by Darcy
On our first full day in Alaska, we were still suffering from some jet lag but that did not stop us from having an enjoyable day.
In the morning we participated in a community service project: moving firewood from the hilly forest to a truck and then re-stacking it in a shelter.
The retreat center uses wood through out the winter months and was in need of manpower. We worked up a appetite for lunch – which was ready and awaiting our arrival.
Later that afternoon we went fishing.I caught the only fish which was promptly thrown back.The experience was a good one.
The youth prepared a meal of veggie and chicken stir fry with ice cream for dessert. We topped off the day with an outdoor service an enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
