Writing from the airport in Nome, Alaska, hoping to eventually get out to St. Lawrence Island and to Savoonga in the Bering Sea. Lucky for me there is wireless at the airport, where I have been stuck for about 3 hours. I did take a walking tour of Nome and I will post pictures of Nome and Savoonga when I return to Anchorage.
