01:03 - Never thought a paved road could look so pretty

Well, that's two mornings up at 5:00 for the Barrow day trip; this time, though, we successfully got on the plane and completed the flight and the tour and the flight back. And now, after a few photos from the Top of the World, to sleep.
Meltwater lakes on the approach to Barrow.
The Alaska Airlines terminal, Barrow. It's a whole airport all in one building.
Mmm. Snacks.
Our tour bus, parked outside the Arctic Pizza (recommended by our driver over the other two pizza places in town).
Inupiat native dance demonstration.
The traditional blanket toss. I'm over on the left.
Dipping into the Arctic Ocean. I took a rock home from the beach.
Beautiful downtown Barrow. That's the police station on the right (a.k.a "the Blue Hotel"), and there's a Wells Fargo with modern ATM and everything in the building off-screen to the left. Behind me is Pepe's, the northernmost Mexican restaurant ever.
Tomorrow: Denali (Mt. McKinley.
