To live is to cherish the rain. I don't know about you, but with my one kayaking excursion, I was wet anyway. Save the grill for a rare, yet still boring, sunny day. Many venture forth in search of the familiar, and souvenir-shop sanctuaries have sprung up to accommodate these befuddled transients. Some seek out the unfamiliar, and the ways of doing this here are many and varied.
Thousands flock to kiosks where they gain passage to strange sights via bus.
Those of us who live here inevitably end up behind their bus as it creeps along through downtown while a cheery voice explains the many sights and reminds the erstwhile adventurers not to feed the locals lest they begin hanging around where they are not wanted. Boats take them whale watching and fishing, helicopters and airplanes take them to see the mighty icefields above us. Most leave with a sense of awe, for this is such a different place. The list of complaints goes on and on. Mostly, we don't mind the visitors, foriegn as they are.
