July 14, 2007 – Fairbanks and Santa

We woke today to cloudy skies and rain. The person who had our spot in the campground was not leaving until noon so we made the trip to the North Pole, Alaska.
My picture with Mr. and Mrs. Claus:

And with my moose:

This is the place where the post office sends all the mail addressed to Santa. There were numerous old letters posted on the walls. Around Christmas, many local volunteers answer new letters to Santa – isn’t that neat.

You can also get letters sent to children (old and young alike). Their website is http://www.santaclaushouse.com/

Did you know that a reindeer is actually a domesticated caribou??? Me, neither…

After we got back, we moved the motorhome into the campground. I went to do the laundry and Andy rested (he has a cold). The sun broke thru and so this evening we had another great campfire!!

And tomorrow – we will be taking a trip to the Artic Circle – stay tuned!!
