October 23, 2007 (Day 11)

This morning I woke up early because I wanted to see the sunrise, which was around 6 AM. Jacqueline woke me up and we walked down to a beach where we could get a good view. Once we got there we started taking pictures with different exposures to get different angles, it was very beautiful. I also noticed that the little rocks on the beach kept moving around, so I bent down to take a look and saw that there were bunches of little hermit crabs! They were everywhere and I was so afraid that I was going to step on them. We also took tons of pictures of them. Once the sun had completely risen, we began walking home and to take a shower. Today we would be going over to Ebeye and we were going to spend the night, so we had to pack a few things for an overnight stay. Once we were all packed, we cleaned up the house, because we didn't know if we would still have the house when we got back. We went over and Julian picked us up and took us out to Gucci-gu, which was where the school was where we would be performing at. We got changed and headed over to the performance. The students had prepared a welcoming show kind of thing and presented us with a lot of really great gifts. We did our performance and there were these two dogs that were bothering us on stage and wouldn't leave us alone, it was kind of funny actually. After we were done we presented gifts to seniors at the school, they were to be the first graduating seniors the school had, which was a great accomplishment. Then we went over to the Catholic school across the field and did another performancefor them.The same dogs followed us over and tried to steal the stage from us, it was pretty funny actually. We hung around for a little while and talked to people from the school and exchanged stories about the places we live. They thought that Alaska was very intrigueing. After we were done there, we went back and got a ride with Julian to town and it started raining so we stopped and ate dinner. It rained really really really hard. Shelby and I got in back of truck and they took pics of us, Julian took us around to the hotels and then helped us settle in. We watched the news for a bit, then Shelby and Fielding went out for a walk around Ebeye at night while I did homework and talked to Jacq a little bit. When they got back Shelby and I worked on interview questions for a little while and then went to bed.
