Adventures in Anchorage

After returning from our amazing vacation in Alaska, I am enjoying the adventure all over again by going through my photos. I knew Alaska was beautiful, but seeing it in person, that word is not strong enough. Magnificent is more like it! Here are some of the pics I took in Anchorage. I hope you enjoy.

Mr. Grumble and I starting our adventure

Travel buddies are the best! We are walking around Anchorage.

We found this Planet Walk as we strolled through Anchorage. We did not find the planets (didn't really look for them...), but we found the sun!

Mr. Grumble with one of many signs with the description of the walk.

This leads to water views, but we were a bit far from the Gulf of Alaska. I thought this was a cool entryway.

One of many streets in Anchorage. All the buildings are small, like these, and boxy. Very utilitarian, but it worked here.

You can find funny things along the way. We can't help ourselves!

You can find interesting things too, like this gem. lol

This is a great place to get a snack. It's loud in there, but good food.

We walked the whole city. We loved these totem poles and stopped to enjoy them.

Guys just want to have fun too.

We enjoyed Anchorage. I recommend going if you get the chance. Don't plan several days. One or two days will be enough. The food is good. I recommend Cafe 817 also. Great food and the owner is cool. We ate there twice for breakfast. The people are friendly too. We were surprised at the number of people who are not from Alaska. They are from other countries or our lower forty-eight (as they like to say, lol). A lot of people work during the busy season and go home when Alaska shuts down for the winter. One guy we talked to worked several places in Alaska so he could see different parts of the state. I can see why.

When next we meet, we will be in Talkeetna, Alaska.
