It is high time that this blog was updated and there is no better time than the present. So much has happened since we returned from Indonesia. Nick began his career at the Blue Ocean Institute in New York where he currently acts as Seafood Program Manager. I joined him in New York after a few weeks spent with my family in Seattle. In March we moved to Brooklyn where we live in an artist's loft in the Greenpoint neighborhood. It is a deliciously quiet area (considering its location in such a huge city) and our building is right on the water. Our roof deck boasts one of the most beautiful views of the city-- perfect for a sunny evening glass of wine after work.
A new addition was adopted into our little family, Inca the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Inca is currently 17 weeks old and an extremely well-behaved puppy. Nick is very fortunate to work on 500 acres of land and takes her to work everyday. So although she is technically a city dog, her life looks nothing like your typical apartment dog.
I am currently in Alaska, Inca in tow, for the summer. I work with my family's salmon processing company for the months of June and July in beautiful Bristol Bay. Inca loves her Alaskan life and wakes me up in the middle of the night when the grizzlies are rummaging around outside my window.
While I am working in Alaska, Nick is in New York trying to keep cool in what will be both of our first summers on the Eastcoast. He doesn't have too wait too long for some cool relief-- in the beginning of August Nick will join Inca and I in Alaska for two weeks of exploring, kayaking and adventuring.
When we are not working, traveling or playing with Inca, there is plenty to keep us occupied. Nick has been building his photographic portfolio (now quite impressive in size & prowess) and can be found roaming the city for the next perfect shot. I am working on a book titled A Green Guide to Brooklyn that will be a reference guide for people who want to live a more sustainable life here in the city.
