So most of us, Matt, Janet and Judy are back in Massachusetts and it's so green! Molly and Amanda are spending a few more days exploring Denali National Park and other parts of southern Alaska and they have promised to return.
Yesterday when we left Barrow it was veiled in heavy mist so we only caught the briefest of glimpses of the town as we took off and then it all disappeared into the gray.
This has been an incredible trip. This blog only captures a tiny amount of what we saw and heard. Barrow and the North Slope Region is unlike anywhere I have been. It is a place of contrast and contradictions, of huge spaces, and tight communities, of subtleties in color and light, of friendliness and warmth,of ice and water, of great history and traditions, of modern technology. We have been drenched in it and its effects will keep us talking and thinking for months to come. All sorts of people have tolerated our questions and shared generously their experiences. We are so grateful to them all. Many thanks to Hal for making it all happen and to you our followers for giving us reason to blog.
