DAY 27 JUNE 13
Day 27. The girls arrived around 8:00 p.m., tired but happy to be in Anchorage. We took them out for a late supper and lights were out by 11:00 p.m. (although that was 2:00 a.m. midwest time). The morning started slowly but picked up steam as the day went on. Following brunch we went to the Anchorage Farmers Market and Craft Fair. There were many authentic Alaskan crafts and displays and it was a great place for souvenirs. We then went to the Chugach State Park and Thunderfalls for a hike back to the falls. The exercise was good and the scenery was very impressive. We ate supper at the same seafood restaurant that we ate at before leaving Anchorage last year after our family reunion. Hillery had halibut fish and chips which she was determined to have. All the selections were very good. Tomorrow we leave early for Whittier and the Major Marine Cruise of Prince William Sound. I am hopeful for a clear day but the forecast has rain in it. We will see.

Hi Bill and Gail,
ReplyDeleteI love the adventure of following you in your blog. The cloudiness made me remember a guide who told us about the tourists in Juneau who would see a few peeks of blue sky amongst the clouds and comment it looked like it was clearing up. The natives there call them "sucker holes." It surely is rainy in Alaska.
Hey, when do they turn on the Northern lights?
Just wondering. (Another great tourist question.) Safe adventures.
Blessings,
Claudia
