Anchorage

We (Brenda and I) arrived in Anchorage very early Tuesday morning (12:30 a.m.) We headed to the hotel and enjoyed the comfort of the room. Tuesday after having breakfast we were out and about. it was almost 60 degrees out and light rain. That did not stop us at all. We walked all over downtown Anchorage. We needed to find some winter boots, which after visiting several stores we finally succeeded in finding a pair rated at -58 F. That should work. We enjoyed walking around all day. After we returned to the hotel, we hit the hot tub and relaxed the rest of the evening. It was very strange having the sun go down at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday we were out and about again in Anchorage, armed with the camera we took a trolley tour of the city and surrounding area. We saw 2 moose along the side of the road. They were in the brush, pictures did not show them very clearly. We had lunch at a place called Humpy's. we both had the halibut taco, it was very good along with a beavertail blondie beer. (Brenda had cherry wheat beer). Brenda heads back bright and early tomorrow, I fly out later in the morning for Kotzebue (via Nome). See you later.
