Day 22

Jan spent the first half of the day working on the roof of the trailer. After a few trips to Home Depot and about 3 hours of work, we think/hope the leak is fixed and now we're not driving around with duct tape on the roof. At one point, Jan backed the truck up to the front of the trailer and I was supposed to be watching & directing. Well, I was looking at the ladder in the back and didn't notice I was letting him back right into the tongue of the trailer. Now there's a big dent in the back of the truck and I wasn't Jan's favorite wife for a while.

We went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant with Jerry & Nancy. Mexican food in Anchorage Alaska - we did not have high expectations. It turned out the restaurant was owned by Mexicans from California and the food was actually pretty good. Even though we are from Arizona, I did not inquire about their immigration status.

We spent the rest of the day sightseeing but didn't really get to SEE the sights we wanted to see because of the heavy cloud cover. Our favorite spot was a viewpoint on Flat Top Mountain. We could see the whole city and, had it been clear, we could have seen Mt. McKinley. It's supposed to be cloudy & rainy the rest of the week so we're not holding on to any hope of seeing the mountain.
