Up until today, Bethel's weather wasn't looking too good for us. It had been very cold, windy, and rainy. My mom and I go walking after lunch everyday. Lately, we have been going to a library close to where we are staying. We went for a nice walk yesterday, and we decided to go to some museums around here. Well, the first one was closed :( so we walked to another one that was a little farther away. But it was pretty muddy, so our pants and shoes got dirty, and it was also sprinkling, so our glasses, hair, coats, and purses got kinda wet. The other museum was a nature one. It had tons of different models of animals. (like the snowy owl, beavers, birds, etc, etc...) It was interesting. It had information you could listen to in either English or Yup'ik. Cool, right?
Today we tried to find the public library (we had been going to a library in a college before) but alas, no luck. Tomorrow we plan on going exploring more. We saw that houses here in Bethel are built up on stilts or platforms. Why do you think that is? (The answer will be in the next blog post from me.) Sincerely, Rachel
Did you know..........
if you cut Alaska in half, each half would still be bigger than Texas?
Alaska's flag was the design that a 7th grader made for a contest in 1927? (142 entries were made for the contest)
More to come later!!

Museums, libraries, but still no napping, what a shame. Hehe.
