Day 35, Wednesday, 7/22: Another beautiful day at North Pole! The RV park gives tours of the town so we decided to take advantage of it. There were 4 of us in the tour van and a nice young guy named Jesse took us around. Didn’t take long but it was informative. After that Bob went to a Rotary meeting (took the RZR) and I did some ‘house’ cleaning and spent some time on the computer. Also, watched a couple of old movies since we have cable TV here… After lunch we took the RZR to Safeway and I was in heaven!!! Was never so glad to see lots and lots of vegetables and fruit at reasonable prices!! Being in the far north and remote makes you appreciate those things. It was hard to limit what we bought!!! It is a very nice and huge Safeway here at the North Pole.
After putting the groceries away, we walked over to the Santa Claus House that is a Christmas lover’s dream. Santa was even there and we had our picture taken with him. Would have spent more time shopping but we had laundry going and it was quite warm inside. Next to the house is an enclosure for the reindeer. They have huge antlers and we got some pictures of them too.
Since it was such a beautiful day we grilled some steaks and sat outside for a long time just enjoying the evening. It did get quite smoky from a forest fire nearby but that didn’t deter us. Some of the things we have noticed after being remote for so long are sirens, trains, traffic sounds… Things you wouldn’t normally even pay attention to.
