I am a US citizen and I’ve never been to Alaska. I’m sure many US citizens can say that! Well, here’s my chance. Michelle and I kept going north – Anchorage was a 3.5 hour flight from Vancouver…talk about north! It’s actually not too cold up here, maybe 50/60s and sunny or partly cloudy so far. The crazy thing about being at this latitude is the sun goes down for a very small amount of time in the summer. Even when it does go down, the sky is more of a “dusk” rather than complete darkness.
Anchorage is a nice little city with a downtown, surrounding residential areas, and lovely views of the mountains in most directions on a clear day. We stayed at a small Bed and Breakfast owned by a nice old woman, literally in the middle of a neighborhood. After arriving in ANC and having some car troubles (oil light came on the original car…thanks, Avis), we settled in and found ourselves at a fun little restaurant in downtown Anchorage called Snow Goose and Sleeping Lady Brewery. The view was AMAZING! The day was so clear, we could see Mount McKinley – the highest peak in North America! Wow. We also ate reindeer burgers, which is of course the real reason we went to that restaurant.
