After traveling all day on Saturday, we arrived safely in Barrow. However, the adventure didn't begin there. On our flight from Minneapolis to Chicago, early in the morning on Saturday, our spirits were lifted by "Tammy the Terrible," a flight attendant with way too much energy for 5:30 in the morning.
After our flight out Minneapolis we waved back at Minnesota one last time as we flew from Chicago to Anchorage. The flight took a really long time. it was delayed, and we had a headwind so we ended up being on that flight about 7 1/2 hours.
We arrived in Anchorage just as everyone way about to die from starvation. We ate hamburgers at Chili's and were shocked at the prices... $14 for a hamburger, ridiculous, right? Little did we know that prices were just going to go up. We just happened to meet up with Kristian's cooperating teacher, and Tony Bissen, a former Gustie, who is a middle school teacher now in Barrow, and just happened to be in Anchorage with some students for a Geography Bee. We happened to be on the same flight as them.
After a quick stop in Fairbanks to drop off some people, and pick some others up we finally arrived in Barrow. After going to Ilisagvik College, where we will be staying for the next seven weeks, and getting our things settled; we had dinner at Pepe's Mexican Restaurant, the northern most Mexican Restaurant in North America, and met Steve, who is our Barrow Tour Guide and totes, a pretty awesome guy, we finally got to do what we all needed to: sleep.
