Exhausted from our travel to here in Anchorage, Alaska!!!!! Got into our air b and b and promptly went to bed!!! Slept till daylight here and I think it was about 9 = went out to breakfast and had reindeer sausage at a pretty famous breakfast place nearby and found out they also have the best halibut sandwich around!!!!!!
this is a couple we met while having breakfast at this White Spot Cafe - found out it is a local favorite - this couple is from Las Vegas and she is a rescue team member and flies all over the place in the US - he is an air traffic controller and also rescuers in his "free time"!! very nice folks!!!
my reindeer sausage and Randy's hash
dining room in the air b and b- see somebody in the mirror?
the living room with fire place
Randy in roomy first class
the great breakfast hole in the wall "White Spot Cafe"
this is a picture of Randy racing the Fur Rondy that was hanging in the Rondy headquarters
Randy jus happened to notice it!!!
there's the photo up there with all the other famous mushers - see George Attla!
even the liquor store is in the spirit of the race!!!
This is the mountain view you have just driving around town!!
After breakfast we drove downtown farther and then walked around the area where the race will take place - we aren't sure but we think that they are having a race of about a mile or 2 downtown and brining in the snow for the street to run on - we were invited by the race marshal, Janet Clarke to come to the
"draw" for places in the race but didn't catch the email in time -instead we went to Goodwill looking for some fur ruffs and other stuff (I got another sweatshirt....) and another hole in the wall restaurant right near us, "Big Jim's" and had the Big Jim burger, with jalapeño ham onion and drippy sauce - delicious!!!!!
came back home and watched tv for a bit and crashed at 9!!! so here I am at 5 am not able to sleep more!!!
more pictures and more writing tonight!!!

I'm glad you made it there without too much trouble and hope you enjoyed the 1st class seats (and beverages!). When I looked at the weather for AK this morning, it looks like MD has the same temps today! Fortunately for us, our numbers will creep up into the 50s in a few days. Not what you'd want to see for you, but I'm happy for us!
Hope you continue to enjoy being tourists and seeing all AK has to offer!
Love you both!
Super cool that they had a picture of Grandpa racing on their wall! That’s awesome!
