Day 23

We're still in Anchorage. As Jan was getting dressed this morning, he noticed some of the screws from the roof repair are sticking out on the inside of the trailer. It looks pretty funny but he's not going to worry about it until we get home.

It was another day of sightseeing and was still cloudy & rainy. We went downtown (I only got Jan lost twice) to see salmon trying to swim upstream. There's a fishing site right in downtown Anchorage (Ship Creek) that's pretty popular. We even saw it featured on a travel show a couple of months ago. Those salmon were huge! We also visited an Alaska knife factory and bought a couple of knives (Ulus). Anchorage has a very nice parks and trails and a lot of people are out enjoying them. We went to a marsh area that's supposed to be a good wildlife viewing site but there were 2 buses of children there so I don't think the animals were too interested in making an appearance. We did see some geese & babies and ducks & babies. We went to another park and actually got to see a moose - and got pictures. That was pretty exciting!

We ended the day with a trip to the Safeway gas station and a stop at Costco. Woo Hoo!
