Alaska - Day 7, Anchorage


  • Breakfast - tried reindeer sausage. Didn't like it; tasted like greasy bologna.
  • Bus ride to Alaska Native Heritage Center.
  • Cool outdoor recreations of various tribes' homes.
  • Heavy descriptions of "boarding schools". 
  • Loved the demonstrations of games and dances.
  • Bus back to hotel. Walked straight to 49th State Brewing for lunch with Ruth. I had their Pale Ale (Didn't like it much). Grilled cheese/crab sandwich either tots. Very good huge portion. And cheaper than 1.5 pounds of king crab for $165!
  • Walked to Anchorage Museum. Impressive. 2 wings, 1 with 4 floors. My favorite exhibits were on the mush dogs and The Cold War.
  • Walked back to hotel and it was raining.
  • Long, luxurious nap.
  • Met the group in the lobby and walked to Glacier Brewing. I had 1 glass of chardonnay sourdough bread, Caesar salad, salmon, mixed desserts.
  • Holly had arranged for a local author to speak to us about the history of the Iditarod. Ruth bought her book. 
  • Walked back to hotel. Early to bed, due to very early pickup tomorrow.
