Alaska
Hi everyone,
I apologize for not writing any blogs in over a month, i have been lazy and avoiding writing a blog because I wanted to put up pictures with it, but still don't have any to post right now, but maybe I'll get on that and post some soon.
Alaska was great, it was still off season so we found a lot of things were not open, but we saw a ton of beautiful mountains. I continuously took pictures of them because each one seemed more gorgeous than the last. We did quite a bit of driving, going all the way up to fairbanks from Anchorage and then down to the water (seward and Homer).
Fairbanks had absolutely nothing to offer besides the North Pole, Alaska a few miles away. We visited North Pole, AK and went to Santa's village and met some reindeer. The light poles in the town were all decorated like candycanes! It was quite exciting. It snowed quite a bit in alaska while we were there and when we were in north pole, ak it snowed too! It was pretty crazy.
We used Anchorage as our main stopping spot between towns. Anchorage is kind of like any other city, I enjoyed it but am pretty sure it does not have enough to offer to keep me there. There were some good restaurants and some cool bars. I ate reindeer sausage in Anchorage! It kind of tasted like kielbasa, but it was very exciting.
Finally we visited the water. The towns are popular fishing towns where tourists go on wildlife watches on boat cruises and fish for halibut and salmon. Seeing as we visited in the off season it was pretty quiet there, but we found a lot of great restaurants as well as enjoyed very scenic drives.
We did not see any wildlife in the actual wild besides a moose, however, we visited a marine life center and saw sea lions and puffins and some other sea creatures. We also went to a wildlife refuge center and saw bears, caribou, moose, and a black bear in a tree! I was thrilled to see a bear in the top of a tree just sitting there....definitely the highlight of the trip.
So that's Alaska, it was great, I'm glad I went, it was beautiful! One day when I have money to afford most everything there I will go back!
Another blog entry really soon!
