Fishing woes and amazing scenery

Home! Yesterday for the first half of the day we were really lazy haha (we wanted the weather to get nicer too). After mom took a nap we drove out to the river to go fishing. We got our gear on and mom began to cut the tie wrap thing on the fishing pole she bought..I was looking at Sheridan Glacier in the distance and all of a sudden I hear "aghhh!" I looked at mom and saw there was a big gash in her finger. The knife slipped and she cut two of her fingers. The deep one was dripping blood like crazy. I got the first aid kit and bandaged it up as best as possible, then mom drove to the hospital. The nurse put her hand in a disinfectant thing and then the doctor came in and put 4 stitches in her finger! I watched with fascination (too many episodes of ER? Haha) while mom couldn't watch at all. We certainly weren't going fishing after that (fail!) so we went shopping around town and had dinner, then walked around the harbor and looked at the boats and their names. Funn haha. Then we just went back to the hotel

This morning we had to get up at 6 something (blerggg) cause we had to board the ferry at 7:30. I looked out the window and was like "omg blue sky??!" It was pretty sunny..it was SO gorgeous. I totally fell in love with Cordova..it was pretty, it had a huge personality, a gorgeous view of the ocean and everyone was SO nice. I really didn't want to leave..I haven't felt that strongly about a place in a long time. I was so sad to leave. The ferry back to Valdez was AMAZING..mostly sunny the whole way back. WOW. The clouds last time hid some sweet snow capped mountains. It was amazing feeling the sun for the first time in days..it's like automatic happiness. We saw a whale too! Valdez looked like..totally different haha. There were 6742319 boats out fishing haha. On the drive back I still found glaciers I hadn't seen before haha. We had lunch at a lake overlooking the Wrangell Mountains. In the Alaska Range I was looking behind me and suddenly spotted this huge moraine with possibly ice under it..I was like "where did that come from?! I've never seen that before!" Amazing I'm always seeing new things even though I've driven there many times. The fall colors were coming out a lot in the mountains..sooo pretty and colorful. I was actually really sad to be back in Fairbanks..I miss the mountains SO much. Even if it's isolated and rainy..I want to live in Cordova or somewhere down there. The city is just..eh. I need the mountains and glaciers. Alaska is just..amazing. <3 I shall post the rest of the pics hopefully tomorrow. I came home to a police officer asking me if I saw someone climbing on the building. Apparently someone on the 4th floor had climbed up the building or something. Ooook then :P
