Day 30--Friday, July 23--Anchorage

Awoke to a beautiful, sunshiny day! The weatherman said to enjoy it because the rain was returning this evening. Our hotel has a shuttle to take us anywhere in the city--it's great!

This is city visitor center downtown. The downtown area is really fun--the Army band was playing in a park and there were lots of people out and about--in the sun!

We took the trolley to the Ulu Factory where they serve free reindeer dogs at 11a--we didn't try one. Sent a couple ulus home--it's a native knife that is used for skinning, cutting, and chopping up foods--doubtful that I'll use it for skinning.

This is the fishing bridge where if the salmon are running, you can jump off the plane, get a license, rent a pole, and go fishing for a couple hours. The tide was out and we didn't see anyone catching anything.

Downtown Anchorage--

Lunch at the Glacier Brewhouse--recommended by Carleen and Darleen--fish/chips for me (one more time) and S had blackened halibut--it was great! Do we look tired? Back to the hotel for a nap and ordering in pizza tonight--airport at 7:30a in the morning, SeaTac, Billings, home by 11p. Ready to leave? No, but real life is calling.
