Wales is our closest neighboring town. Yesterday, while flying from SHH to UNK (or Shishmaref to Unalakleet, for those of you who don't speak in airport codes), we dropped off a girl and picked up two leadership training people from Wales.
I was able to stick my laptop camera up to the window, and take a picture of THEIR ENTIRE VILLAGE. In one shot:
Yup, that's their whole town. And all 152 of them (at the 2000 census) fit into that handful of houses.
So the next time I complain about how far we have to walk to the snack-shack, or about how there are so many people in line at the student store, I just need to be reminded that at least I have people around me.
Our current village consists of 67 people as of the 2000 census. BUT we have one MAJOR advantage over the bush villages. We have a road that connects us with close to 5000 other people.
