An Interview and the Contract

Today I got my contract for King Cove, AK. I had decided to go to Alaska to teach after teaching for four years in Minneapolis. I am excited, scared and have a ton of questions about what to expect from the town, teachers, and kids while teaching in the Aleutian Chain.

Things I have figured out so far:
-It is very windy in King Cove
-There are two ways in and out - boat (hours and hours) and plane (15 very scary minutes)
-The town is small but very well balanced with all different people
-People bring cars but you can do without it if you need to
-There is a lot of wildlife and the town borders a refuge

Here is a picture of the town I found on google images- I wonder where the school is and where I will live?
