Today was a taking care of stuff day, but we did find out that Anchorage is not just a mundane city, it has some neat areas, and some neat places.
We did the laundry thing, the grocery thing and the Sam’s club thing, then went for lunch at Salmon and Seaforts Restaurant, with a table overlooking Cooke Inlet. On the other side of the inlet is a mountain known as Sleeping Woman, coz it resembles……………yes, you guessed, a sleeping woman! Only thing is we didn’t take any pix coz it was too cloudy, and raining.
We then wandered around some of downtown Anchorage, with our local friend/guide, who showed us some of the out of the touristy way places, which were quite cool.
We went to the Chocolate Factory, which has a 20’ high liquid chocolate fountain cascading down through various copper pots and things, which looks neat, but when you think about how many times it has been recycled, you would not want to eat any of the choccy!!
There is a building with three flags at the top, the Alaska flag, the U.S. flag and the Union Jack of Great Britain.
The building is the Captain Cooke, the greatest explorer of all time, who discovered all the world, apparently, hence the three flags.
We have new shirts, check out the pix.
Wildlife watch today was nothing.
