Anchorage

I was able to check my bags at the airport fairly early today, so I hopped in a cab and headed to downtown Anchorage to do some exploring.

Anchorage is the "aviation crossroads of the world"

The roof is made out of sod!

The Rusty Harpoon, my one gift-shop stop. They didn't have anything I couldn't live without.

4th Avenue, Downtown Anchorage

After I wandered around for a while, my stomach got the best of me. I stopped in the Glacier Brewhouse for some lunch.

They asked me if we had microbreweries in Texas

The Deadliest Catch!

After lunch it was time to head back to the airport. However, I did spot this sign, which proves that there is hope for my girlfriend in Alaska afterall!

 

I'll take this opportunity to thank her for bearing with me this summer! I couldn't do it without her! (Especially since these photos are coming from her camera...)

Next stop, Prudhoe Bay!
