The Bering Inn

Again, we're thankful to have a roof over our head. This time we're surrounded by vacation bible school craft projects and curled up photos of previous guests. The ceiling and curtains are straight out of a motel horror movie--you choose: Psycho, Vacancy, Identity, The Shining. There's a collection of Country Gold tape cassettes we've been enjoying, and a 1988 Anchorage phone book (in case we wanted to order pizza and have it freighted to us 21 years ago or something). The most welcoming thing we noticed on our arrival (besides the green anti-freeze in the toilet) was the toothbrushes they left for us in the medicine cabinet. We'll be sure to use those.
