I think the Aleutians breed special people. Adaptable, friendly and a love of remote places in beautiful surroundings (remember, I did say I've only seen it in good conditions!) - either that or they just love cutting up fish.
With our week in DUT, several of the locals took us under their wing and either spent time showing us around, taking us home or just being nice (since we did stand out from the crowd being the only ones walking everywhere). Made it a memorable experience. Now, just to get enough AS points so I can actually get back there again.
