The Coffee House

It's Sunday evening, Alex and I are sitting in the coffee house (aka wine bar). Alex is being responsible and writing letters to friends and family in the states. I am mostly staring off into space, people watching and complaining about my sore leg muscles. The coffee house is very cozy, it's all wood paneling on the walls and with some old-school wooden skis and sleds for decorations. There aren't any windows and the lighting is dim, giving us a chance to escape the sunlight that seems to be wearing on us more and more as the time goes along.

We have a window in our room and a black cloth that gets velcro-ed onto the window at night, but it still lets in plenty of light and, thus, never really feels dark.

Alex started knitting a hat today, her first hat attempt. She's using some beautiful yarn she bought in Asheville before we set-off for the ice.

We've decided on New Zealand and Australia for our honeymoon. Doing mostly long walks, probably more time in New Zealand than Australia.

Alex saw a penguin last week, pretty exciting.

There are a lot more seals since the ice breaker arrived.
