First Day of Work

Woke up this morning at 545, and sat by the river for while before taking a shower and walking out of my room to work. The time difference really helped me get into the habit of waking up early. waking up at 6 feels like waking up at 9, the day before....
The plan for my work is for me to try out all positions, then decide where I feel most comfortable. I wish more jobs were set up like this... Unfortunately that means I started at 7 this morning in housekeeping. Spent half the day scrubbing windows, changing sheets and vacuuming. It got pretty monotonous after the third or fourth room but overall it was pretty simple. I did like that the work day for housekeeping ends around 2.00. I got cleaned up and took a stroll down the river. It was pleasant enough taking pictures (which grew increasingly frustrating due to focal distance issues...)  but when the sand flies took notice of my presence they began to feast on rare american blood. After being sucked dry, I checked out the helicopter and took a nap.
 All in all, a peaceful day in the mountains.
