Fresh Produce and Starbucks.

And we're off. We made it to the Anchorage Airport, produce in hand and plenty of homework to do while sitting here and waiting for our flight to Bethel. I'm pretty sure we have about a 4 and a half hour wait in Bethel, so I'll have lots of time to do work that need to get done before the end of the year. Dustin and I are literally flying by the seat of our pants, as we realized this morning on the plane that we don't even know who is supposed to pick us up from the Airport in St. Mary's... or we don't know any names of the St. Mary's teachers. BUT, I did here, from a friend who has a friend out trapping in St. Mary's that the Discovery Channel is in St. Mary's!! Why? I have no idea, but maybe I'll manage to meet the camera crew and make a cameo on some Alaskan Discovery Channel series.
We were told to being produce (which we have a lot of, a whole cooler full to be precise) but we're not sure how we're supposed to distribute it. My small travel sheet tells me to "offer it to the village" but who do we offer it to? Dustin was envisioning us standing on the side of some road passing out fruit to children running around the streets... which actually might be realistic. I remember being in my first true village, Angoon, Alaska, and the children were running all over the place. I guess Tenakee, AK is similar too... except everyone that lives there is either an aging Juneauite, or a young hippy family.
We fly on an Alaska plane over to Bethel, and then on a Penair flight to St. Mary's.
