Well today was long; I got up early after a night of constant awakenings with that inner fear that I wouldn't wake up and then miss my flight. We sat at the airport for quite sometime, another sign of the paces here in Bethel. I was totally shocked by the announcement "Flight to Hooper Bay set to board. Meet your pilot at the gate" - which is the only gate in this small building. Nno security, no restrictions, and much luggage left unattended throughout this room. I also thought it was so cute to see blankets draped over the noses of these prop planes as they were awaiting a flight. The waiting area also featured aerial shots of all the villages. This was interesting to be able to see the variations in sizes and potential in the village area. Some were quite shocking with an air strip being the largest, most prominent feature. Others were larger and featured some paved roads. No fears though, the adventure will continue as the flight has been rescheduled for next week. And a plus side, we didn't have to miss hamburger Wednesday (a huge favorite at the cafeteria). And talk of food makes me think that my grocery supplies are starting to dwindle again and its time for a trip to the store again soon.
Now if only I could stave off this head cold that thinks it can settle in...
