Our Alaska Airlines airport! It's wide this way, but it's narrow the other way. In other words, it's definitely not big.
The Vietnam Memorial Cemetery.
The Tundra in the summertime is very green, although now it's starting to edge towards fall colors already. The weather this summer went as high as 67 degrees one time. Most of the weather has been wet, a heavy mist. It didn't seem to get humid at all though, for which we were grateful. The mosquitos got bad at first when it was dry and warm-ish, but when it rained again for a few days, they disappeared and didn't show up again until it was warm for several warmer days in a row. The seemed to reappear several times, but for the most part after they disappeared the first time, it was much more bearable.
This is the house we lived in when we first arrived in Bethel. If you remember the picture Jeff sent first with the plane sitting on the snow, this is the opposite view. The lake is nice and wet instead of frozen.
Apparently, the person who owns this house is the grumpiest in Bethel. This road that goes straight goes all the way through to the houses in the distance (where our house is). The owner of the house owns the property the road is on though, and there was some kind of problem which hasn't been resolved with the city using it. So he blocks it off. And people have to drive an extra long distance to get to the other side of town which can be a pain. People are grateful when the lake freezes up because they create an "ice road" and skip around his property.
