As most of you know I have a deep love for Alaska and take any chance I can to get out of Connecticut. I leave on Sunday July 25th for 5 weeks to the "Last Frontier." I will be working in Nome (you can see Russia from my window!) for 4 weeks of a rural medicine rotation. I will then be meeting my friend Denise for a fun-filled week of adventure and travel.
Statistics:
Nome Population: 3,500
Location: Nome lies along the Bering Sea, on the south coast of the Seward Peninsula, facing Norton Sound. It is 539 air miles northwest of Anchorage, a 75-minute flight. It lies 102 miles south of the Arctic Circle and 161 miles east of Russia.
Accommodations: Three hotels, eight bed and breakfasts and apartments, nine restaurants.
I will attempt to blog daily with pictures and stories of my Eskimo adventures!
Have sooo much fun! I can't wait to read about your adventures!!
