First Impressions

So, I was fully expecting to arrive at Barnabas and have no internet or cell service because LAST time I was here that was the case. But, surprisingly enough I turned on my computer this afternoon and VOILA! Internet! So I thought I'd blog now (Brady informed me that its not often that we have wifi over at Shepherd's, the house we're staying in). And apparently if I walk out to the end of the pier down by the water there is usually pretty reliable cell reception. We'll see, I may just decide to turn my phone off altogether.
So far I've met Rob and Cathy (They run Barnabas), Phil and Evelyn (They do all the camp maintenance), Ruth (Who according to numerous people is the most awesome person ever. High expectations to live up to but I can already tell, as Anne Shirley would say, that she's going to be a "kindred spirit"), and of course the other interns Christina and Anna.
Out the window I can see the mountains behind Langdale, and two massive bald eagles circling overhead. It is overcast, cold, and getting dark. I've been told that tonight we will most likely have some snow! I'm glad about that, it'll be snowing in Vancouver tonight and I'll be missing it.
That's all for now, hopefully I'll be able to give a fuller update later, so check back!
Love
A
