Finally in Eureka, I got in last night late after many airline troubles... but I'm and sound and without luggage... however, I had a great morning with one of my bosses, Kaitlin, at the Oyster fest. I tried my first oyster... I had two in fact, drenched in butter and garlic. It was okay... I wouldn't order it off a menu, but I'd cordially eat it at a dinner party without gagging... then we went to the farmer's market and got some organic cherries to get the garlic out of my mouth... they were to die for!
I met my other boss, Shannon, and she seems really cool, but I don't know anyone very well yet.
The house where the office is is amazing! It is an old Victorian house with 10 chickens, two ducks, some cats and a really sweet black lab named Annie. They warned me that she's really shy, but she loves me already... she can tell I love doggies!
Speaking of dogs, my host family has a puppy named Lucy, and she's adorable... she's some sort of mutt with curly black fur. We also have four cats and some toads and fish. My favorite cat so far is Bob... he's an orange cat with no tail, that purrs a lot as soon as I get near him.
I'm a little nervous right now, because I think the people I'm working for are a lot more liberal than I am... I'm sure we'll have a lot of debates about politics especially about the election.... they're all voting Green, which I find RIDICULOUS! Oh well... I'll get used to it.
More later... I'm going exploring now!
