School is Closed!



Good News: Today we awoke to 37 degree temperatures!
Bad News: Rain, Rain, and more Rain!

We decided to travel to the airport anyway to see if we could get out. Here we are waiting for our ride. Notice all the bags!!! The roads were extremely icy and it took our cabbie (oh yeah, we have to travel by cab or foot EVERYWHERE!) an extra long time to navigate the driveway and the road to the airport. When we arrived at the airport we learned that the runway was closed, as well as the Bethel schools. While many of you think this is good news, for those of us paid ONLY when we set foot in a site (ie. school or village) it is not good to hear. Oh, well! I guess I can catch up on TV today!
Side Note: I learned today that while the seal and beaver hat is super warm and waterproof- it takes on a distinct smell (think "wet dog") after spending anytime in the rain!
