2 and a half days in Fairbanks - and some relaxing

you already know about Monday and the re-start - so Tuesday we got up and I made breakfast using only a microwave and a toaster over - that probably doesn't seem like such a big deal but after a beautiful full kitchen in Anchorage............  Managed to have little egg muffins with a plastic thing we bought at Walmart and toast  Oh I forgot to tell you that our host knocked on our door at 2:30 in the morning to let us know that there were norther lights out!!!  Randy never stayed up for them but I did for a while - they were mostly all white but beautiful!

Out the door and first stop the American Dog Musher Association in Fairbanks = beautiful log building which i am sure i will send a picture of = saw Kim Wells there and Pam Schamber both from Anchorage and both limited (less than 8 dogs) drivers and also Michael Tetzner

Off from there to look at the International Ice Sculpture exhibition!  took us an hour to go through - pix to come - then stopped for lunch at a "hole in the wall" bar and I had crab stuffed mushrooms - soooo good!!!  stopped back at the musher's hall but didn't know anybody - rest of the nite looking at the Iditarod standing and our favorites!  I did get up once to see if there we northern lites but none - and does not look like there will be any for the rest of the time we are here.

Noon Mass for Ash Wednesday and driver's meeting at 7 at musher's hall!!!

I slid down this little hill without a sled (didn't know they had them for free....) and had wet pants the rest of the day!!

I marveled at how they made the rapier curved!!
