May 24


アラスカに来て二週間。少しロルフィングセッションもし、日々、畑の準備や鶏の世話やらしながら、この土地を楽しんでいます。

今は雪もほとんど解け、緑がひょっこり。今季は1998-1999年以来の記録積雪量だったとのこと。1998-1999冬といえば、私が初めてこの土地を訪れた年。確かに雪深くていろんなことが大変だったけれど、全てが白いって潔く美しかった。

雪は多かったけれど、今や氷河も随分と解けて、小さくなってしまった。このまま行けば、spitも沈むと言われている。

春が遅い今年は、今、沢山の母子Mooseを見かけます。食べるものが少ないので、家の周りだけでなく、ダウンタウンでも多い。やっと春が来て、一気に動き出した感じ。

アラスカに来ると、毎日行きたくなるTwo Sisters Bekery and cafe。娘と一緒でもそれは変わらず。地域に愛され、全ての年代に優しいcafeを堪能しておきたいだけ。満足度の高いvegan、sugar free、guluten freeメニューもある。冬は漁師が沢山いるけど、この季節は観光客が多いな~って私もだわ。私にとっては、世界一のcafe。今やtap beerもwineもある。
そして、ここには世界一のthrift store、pick'n payもあり!


It's been two weeks since we got to Alaska. I am giving  several Rolfing sessions, and working on the field and taking care of chickens, really enjoying this land.

With resisting snow almost melted away, now we can find something green here and there.  This last winter, people here had the biggest snow since the 98-99 season.  I visited here for the first time that winter.  It was tough to deal with that much snow, but still it was graceful and beautiful with everything around covered in white.

This year, there was as much snow, but now the glaciers have become much smaller. People say the town of Spit will sink in the sea sometime in the future.

Spring has come late this year.  Now we see a lot of mother moose and baby moose. They don't have much to eat in the mountain, so they come down to the field around our house and even downtown.  Finally it's the spring time, and everything is suddenly active and alive.

When I'm in town, Two Sisters Bakery & Cafe has always been my regular joint and that hasn't changed now with my daughter.  People here love this place, and it fits to everybody in any generation, including myself. They serve such satisfying vegan meals, as well as sugar-free and gluten-free food.  A lot of fishermen hang around here in the winter, but now I see many tourists visiting, well, including myself. For me this is THE best cafe in the world. Now they even serve beers on tap and wines too. And let's not forget Pick N' Pay nearby, THE best thrift shop in the world!
