Wow! What a first day!

Good Evening!
 So today was the first official day at work and I'm so sleepy! We woke up and went to work, walked all 2 mins to get there.  I can see where I work from my window! The day seemed pretty normal, started with orientations at the hospital, all the tests and even was screened for drugs! But yesterday I was out and about the town finding out what the locals do for fun and I found some neat things! Here are some pics of the town.

 
So this is one of the original signs built in the early 1900s that marks the beginning of a gold mining trail!
 
                                    The really thin white line is the ice cap that is still in the water!
There is still snow along the beach!

More of the ice cap!

The biggest sled dog race in Alaska and Nome is the finish line!

The local grocery store... food is so expensive, I miss drinking milk all the time but it $8 for a gallon! CRAZY!!!

Some original wooden boats that were never finished that would have been used for fishing!

The hand-crafted wooden finish line for the sled race!

A view down Front St. It really looks like your in a western film!

A really cute sign on one of the local bars here in Nome.
