more nome arrivals.

It is starting to get crowded "here" at the Nome Nugget Inn. Both Bonnie and Adonis (Lydia) arrived over the weekend.

It's actually warmer in Nome than it is at home. Today it's 35 degrees! Snow is melting.

Lydia is going to leave right after the race starts. Adonis doesn't like other dogs. So a town filled with tired dogs is not going to make him happy. Besides, she's been mumbling something about plumbing and car  problems at home.

Bonnie is going to stick it out with me and wait for the others — Sharon, Barb and Dave. Personally, I'm not going anywhere until the race is over. They have Wifi so I can work. And I'm hoping for one sunny clear day so I can look at across the Bering Strait and maybe see Russia. Or at least some whales.

Meanwhile back in Pennsylvania, Bonnie and I have both finished the Tail on the Trail Challenge. We are quite exceptional walkers that we can walk on two sides of a country at once. And don't forget, I'm also in China on my virtual walk around the world. See, you can be at three places at one time!

Since I am no longer subbing, Bonnie and I have started to walk Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It's been bitter cold. Maybe we really should be in Nome.
