I'm here but barely...

I've been sick for the last week and barely online. So until I feel human again here are a few more pictures from my adventures in Nome! Yes...those are Christmas trees stuck out in the snow on the Bering Sea. Yes, they call them a National Forest. The gnome greats the mushers as they come up off the ocean over the sea wall onto Front Street. The three of us are all Carroll College grads...two of them live in Nome and didn't know each other until I arranged for us all to get together. What a blast!
