Our Last Night in Barrow!

Hey all! Today was our last full day in Barrow and the last day for the 6th and 7th grade students at Hopson. We spent the majority of our day cleaning up our classrooms, writing thank you notes, and wrapping things up in general. Some of us decided to order from East Coast Pizza for lunch, but the funny thing about dining establishments in Barrow is that most have EVERYTHING. So, for example, at East Coast PIZZA you can buy pasta, enchiladas, hamburgers, salads, and seafood, oh and pizza as well. Mr. Taylor, my cooperating teacher, and I split a pizza, while most of the others ate a random assortment of food.

After school, Travis, Justin, and Molly went to Pepe's to meet a few elementary teachers while Rachel and I went with Lilo and John to cruise around town. We took some pictures next to the frozen ocean and while around town. We really wanted to take pictures of a number of houses with flags raised and whale sitting out in the yard. When a crew catches a whale, they have a cook out and to signal both the catch and the cook out, they raise their crew's flag at the house. We, however, didn't want to interrupt the fun by asking if we could take pictures, so it just means you're going to have to come up here to see such as scene if you wish.

Tomorrow is the big day and I have a feeling most of us have yet to finish packing. Thanks to all your support and attention following our blog! I hope it has been enjoyable and we'll see you soon!
