Alaska - Day 10, Seward & Anchorage

  • I didn't want to eat the super bland breakfast at the hotel, so I walked down the street to the Sup... Bakery. Not a big selection. But the strawberry muffin and latte were wonderful. Ate outside and chatted with another visitor. 
  • Stopped at the Ace Hardware (Seward's "Walmart") and bought DayQuil for Ruth. She took a turn for the worse overnight.
  • Took bags downstairs to the bus. 
  • Drizzly out, but not cold.
  • Dropped us at the Alaska Sealife Center. Had 1.5 hours on our own to explore. Like a mini Monterey Bay Aquarium.
  • Ate our pre-ordered lunches while we listened to a lecture on cephalapods. He dissected a squid which made some people squeamish, but I found it cool.
  • Bus to Anchorage. 2.5 hours, including 1 stop.
  • Took group photo at a restaurant area.
  • Checked into hotel. Arranged for early breakfast and shuttle pickup.
  • Ruth and I walked a little to see the seaplanes landing and taking off. Neat!
  • Rested a little.
  • Ruth received a note from Kari, asking her to isolate. So she skipped dinner.
  • Bus to 49th State Brewing (where I ate lunch a couple of days ago).
  • We had our own dining room.
  • Had 1 beer (blonde ale). Pre-ordered salmon (the best I had this trip). Amazing blueberry pie! 
  • Kari recited a super cute poem. A few of us spoke. 
  • Bus back. Said all our goodbyes. 
  • Ruth was awake, so she ate her dinner that I carried back.
  • Said our goodbyes as she'll be getting up at 1:15am for her flight.
