Best. Day. Ever

What an amazing, amazing day!!  I think I have just taken the best job ever.  So my day started out wicked good when Mike and I were able to chat with video for a really long time!! Yay!!  I took him for a tour of my new digs, I chatted with - and got resoundingly shunned by - Maui, and we each learned the ins and outs of video conferencing (keep your nose pointed down!).  It was great. 

But THEN, I went for a walk around the Preserve. It was another beautiful, sunny day, so why not right?  I mean, as interesting as the strategic plan was....

So the vet, Maria, was onsite with some guests. It turns out that a few of the animals, based on their personal circumstances are more friendly towards humans and I totally pet an muskox!!!  And a caribou!!!! And a thin horned sheep, who also put on a bit of a show for me.
 I also met Danny, the original owner.  He built this place with his own hands, and sold it to the territorial government, I discovered, over the more lucrative monastery from Japan, so that kids can enjoy it. Nobody may run this place like he would like :-), but I really hope to get him on my side. 

Enjoy the photos!! I will upload the video as soon as I figure out how :-)
