We've made you a pictorial of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's hometown, complete with funny captions (and with help from National Geographic's guide.) First stop on the tour: Palin's church. Some people hate going to church because it's somber and boring—but not this church! You can sing, dance, thump your chest, and make a joyful noise to incredibly dorky music. You don't have to "dress up," either. Click through for dogs, bears, glaciers, and the local resort.
