- Really early wakeup.
- I got coffee in hotel.
- Bus to Anchorage Train Depot. Lots of people there, but very organized.
- 4.5 hour train ride. Best leg of the ride, based on the scenery.
- Watched the sunrise from our breakfast table.
- I had a mimosa (why not?) And biscuits/gravy.
- Went back up and admired the scenery the whole way.
- Got into Seward, took our van to the hotel. We dropped off people who weren't feeling well.
- Took a walking tour of some of Seward's 35 murals. Paintings are done by community members.
- Had lunch with Ruth at Seasalt Alaska Bar & Grill. Good beer. OK cod fish & chips.
- Walked a little of the seaside trail, admiring the statues commemorating the Iditarod dogs and gushers.
- Went back to the Sealife Center.
- I bought seaglass pendant and earrings.
- Got on bus and drove to Bear Creek where salmon were running. They had an "elevator" for them to get higher. Very interesting. LOTS of fish.
- Back to hotel and took a nap.
- Bus to dinner at Zudy's. It was the original train station. They opened just for us. Delicious halibut with macadamia nut crust, risotto, asparagus, salad, rolls, berry cake, chardonnay. All delicious.
- Back to hotel, early to bed.
