~~Getting Used to Nome... Loving Weird~~

Nome is a weird place; I like weird.  And Nome in summer, with 24/7 sunlight, is even weirder. I am an early riser, and that did not change when I got to Nome.  I would walk between three and five miles every morning.

Each morning, around 6a, I would put on my boots and wonder about the town.

Even though it is "light" 24/7 in the summer, there really IS a sunrise in Nome!

Sometimes I would walk along the Bering Sea and enjoy the magnitude of it.  Breathtaking.  The first few days, the sea was very choppy....too choppy for the dredgers to go out and dredge for gold.
