Ian and I took a trip to Barrow this weekend. I've had a hankering to see the arctic and we decided to go before he goes to Iraq. The highest temperature we witnessed was probably -5. At night it dropped to -25 or so. It ended up being one of the best trips we've gone on. The people were so nice, we were able to watch women preparing seal skins for the spring whaling boats, and to top it all off we saw three polar bears! It's truly unlike anywhere we've ever been before.

WOW! polar bears, and not in a zoo. They may not be around much longer. Looks like a great trip. Sam and I will have to come out there soon.
