Lessons from Week One

Today marks our first whole week in Bethel! Lessons learned so far:

1. Ordering Chinese food in rural Alaska - NO

2. Being always armed with "bug dope" - YES

All those tiny black dots on the house - MOSQUITOES
3. If you want to experience an Alaskan sunset in May, you have to stay up till 2 a.m. Luckily, you are also simultaneously watching a sunrise. Two for one!


4. The town dumpsters double as art pieces


5. Don’t forget to rob a bank on your way to the grocery store.
