Petersburg

Here is our new home town! We just happen to visit during their snowy-est week and the snowy-est month in recorded history (our luck). It made for beautiful pictures though and an awesome visit. The town is about half way between Ketchican and Juneau and is the only one on Mitkof Island. There are a little more than 3000 people and all the amenities a person could need. Two grocery stores, two hardware stores, a department store, drug store, etc. There are several little gift shop/art galleries for the cruise ship tourists. There are even a couple of restaurants! We've already tried...well...all of them, they aren't bad. I know it's hard to believe we live somewhere without Wal-Mart and Taco Bell, but I think we'll adjust quite fine. The bummer part is that we'll have to cook dinner like every night, ugg. We, or should I say, "I" have never been too good at that. We will do weekly shopping at the biggest grocery store in town, but all of our large purchases will be from Juneau or Seattle. Everything gets shipped on the ferry. We can't wait for everyone to come and visit. Petersburg has awesome fishing and there is really good hunting on the near by islands; however; in order to fully enjoy it we will need a boat. So you may make your contribution at Well Fargo account number - oh just kidding!
