Welcome to Barrow, Alaska!
While the trip so far has been remarkable, this portion would prove to be the highlight of our trip partly because it wasn't filled with complaining cruiseline tourists.
Paġlagivsi Ukpeaġvik!
If you look closely, you can see that Lake Placid, Florida, is on one of the signs. I haven't been able to find out why.

One of my goals for this trip was to eat at Pepe's North of the Border.
In here you'd never know you were over 3,000 miles north of the Mexico border.
Great tasting burrito with all the fixin's!
