We were up early in Barrow for a lovely breakfast at Sam
& Lee’s Restaurant and a short walk to the airport terminal. By morning the Inupiat fishermen had
the whale “dismantled” preparing parts for each of the boat crews that landed
it. Then each boat crew cuts up
portions for their families. A
celebration was scheduled for the next day with all Barrow residents invited.
Our non-stop flight back to
Fairbanks was routine (if any flight across 550 miles of frozen tundra can
be). Joy did some laundry today as
we relax a bit after the last 48 hours.
We remain in Fairbanks until Monday as we visit more sites and plan our
next adventure.
