North Pole Alaska

---

Last night we had pizza from the Great Alaska Pizza Co. at the picnic table in our RV park. Very Good. This morning went to church at St.Nicholas Church at North Pole. There are a lot of young families in the church. I imagine that they are with the Air Force Base here and the Army Post that is also here. We had a visiting priest from St. Louis to fill in for the local priest that was on vacation. The deacon said that this is the largest missionary diocese in the world. It has 48 parishes and 22 priests. Many of the churches are only accessible by boat, snowmobile or plane. This afternoon we went to Michael's. We had a fish fry (crappie that Carolyn brought from Florida). Lots of good food. We were suppossed to leave tomorrow, but Larry has been having trouble with his truck. It has been in the shop all week. It is a 2011 and he has had lots of trouble with emission problems. Hopefully, they will get it fixed tomorrow.
