A week of vacation in Platinum
Hello again! This week, we are on our vacation here in Platinum. We have 2 more days to go until we get back to Bethel and continue our course. So far, our vacation is going well, and we’re having a lot of fun. When we first got here, we thought this village was so small but beautiful. On Monday, we kayaked 6 miles on the ocean, and it was fun. When we got back, we swam for a few minutes in our dry suits…but i got wet. 
Tuesday, we hiked up red mountain and it wasn’t all that bad. It was so much fun, but I was really tired. It was awesome being on top of a mountain. From where I’m from, there’s no mountains and that was the first time I actually got up to the top of a mountain. I guess I could call myself a mountain climber now. 
That hike up to the mountain was 4 miles and it wasn’t that bad going up and down the mountain. Wednesday, we went on a tour at the Platinum Mine a.k.a. old platinum. It was fun to see all the old buildings and things in the buildings. We saw many different things at that place. Anyways, overall, i think hiking was the most fun! The next time I visit, I wanna see a bear because we only saw caribous so far. For next years bridging students, my advice would be to bring good hiking shoes. :D ~Tiffany~
