Good day everybody!! Mary @ I woke up around 10:30 AM. We decided not to take a chance so we went to a local Starbucks about 5 miles away and got ourselves coffee and one of those delicious breakfast sandwiches they serve. We were worried that at the bakery that we were going to meet Hannah and Story wouldn’t have any food by the time we got there. We had no idea what this place was gonna be like so we got that which is a very good move considering we Met them at the place and they had a big long line. We discovered that they had a shorter line just to get coffee without the food. That was a pretty good arrangement they had so we got coffee actually Mary got a different kind of drink, but I forgot what it was. Anyway we hung out there and talked for quite a while and enjoy it then it was time to head out and we got a coffee to go, and Mary got another little snack and one behind the counter who was from Philadelphia and it was cool. She was very nice. After that, we said goodbye to them and made arrangements for them to stop by our hotel to drop off some things like bug spray, etc. We’re gonna do and take a walk first Mary wanted her nails done so we got we’re doing that now. It’s now 2:42 PM and then we’re gonna do errands pick up bottled water in the lake. and while she’s getting her nails done, there’s a bookstore right next-door. It’s an old-school bookstore. It’s like Barnes & Noble, but without all the commercial stuff pretty deep far back and I found some cool stuff to look at. I am. After we did that we decided we’d try to find a place to get some provisions. We ended up finding a place called Fred Mayer. Mary said she went to this place 50 years ago back when she was in Portland Oregon. So I went there in this place had a supermarket attached to other different kinds of stores. Anyhow, we went shopping there picked up provisions and they have more super coffee than any other store I’ve seen in recent memory. We picked up a banana, bananas and bug spray and then I picked up two super coffees. We then went hiking to Point Worozof Park. It was a cool looking place. We saw airplanes flying overhead. We met two really nice gentlemen who took pictures of us and we did a little bit of walking for a little bit of exercise. Then we headed back to the hotel and we found out our card key was not working so we got it replaced or no we got it re-magnetized. After that, Mary took a shower and I chilled out looking up what I did 234 years ago it was very interesting. Mimi had a graduation party three years ago and I also did a lot of traveling that June 2023. We went to the taste of India for Indian and then that was really good. We enjoyed very much then we headed to the Potter Marsh Wildlife Viewing Boardwalk, which was wonderful. It was breathtaking views and we got so many beautiful pictures and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I couldn’t believe how nice it was. We did have to leave because it was really gusty and cold. But we enjoyed ourselves. It’s now 10:43 PM and still light outside. Tomorrow we’re checking out of Anchorage and heading towards Takena. We’re going to be staying four days at the Latitude 62. In the meantime we’re gonna try to see Wasilla tomorrow the home of Sarah Pain. That oughta be interesting. I also heard it was pretty also Hannah was very generous to lend us some winter gear for the expected cold temperatures. It’s now almost 11 PM.
Today we got up at 6 AM to finish packing and head on down to the airport. Alice was nice enough to drive us down to the airport before that I had yogurt and so did Mary. Mary can’t find her sunglasses hopefully that she can mail them when she finds them. Anyhow, we got to the airport in plenty of time. TSA was fast. The food offering are kind of lame in this end of the airport all they had was a Petes coffee and they didn’t serve breakfast food so we had a pesto sandwich which was good. We’re in groupie, which is the second the last group it’s now 7:50 AM. Oh yeah, one of Pat Brothers is suing The sister to sell the Millbourne property that I rent from. So we’ll see what happens there that oughta be an interesting little soap opera. Well, the Plane left closer to 9 said we would arrive around 1 PM which gives us plenty of time to pick up Mary’s lawn luggage and get an Uber to the rental car place which is outside the airport then it’s time to plug down two grandbaby for the car. Anyway, we got Insurance. We’re all good there. Been a pretty smooth flight seats are a little more comfortable than the flight to San Diego. So 127 we just landed at Anchorage and oh my God the view from the airplane window was absolutely stunning. I’venever seen anything like it. The clouds are broke up enough that we could see through and get some good pictures. It was mind blowing really instantly went on Facebook and posted stuff and so did Mary. The next stop is to pick up bags pick up an Uber then pick up the rental car. Will be picked up the bags and then couldn’t find an Uber anywhere in the airport. Turns out later on we found out it’s on the upper level. Anyway, we took a cab the nice Armenian man who pointed out there’s a big mural that said welcome to Alaska that we went to after we checked in at the hotel and fetch our rental car. The lady at the Rental Car Pl. who wrote the email was very nice. We’re now eating at the 49th State Tavern. I’m having a bit vegan burger and Mary’s having a traditional burger. We’re both very hungry. We want to eat and crash beautiful place. Well, reach out done and had a good time over at the 49th State Tavern. We did wet back to the hotel and checked in our room and decided that we would switch rooms. We would ask the guy before he went out to dinner if he would do that and he was very agreeable so we said we’d be back around 9 o’clock after we meet Hannah and story for dinner at a place called the Rusted Goat. So we drove out to that place. It took us about 12 or 15 minutes to get there and they were waiting for us and we came very nice looking restaurant kind of remind me of the 49th state Tavern, but not as crowded. We ate upstairs and I ordered chicken wings, and Mary ordered a a Barada and a blackberry appetizer. They were both very good eye chow down heavily on the chicken wings just like a chow down on that burger that I had earlier. It was really nice to talk to Hannah and story story told what happened to his knee he he blew out an ACL and he told me about his jobs guiding people helicopter skiing which I would never do in 100,000 years, but he guides people doing that and does river rafting guiding in different places such as Idaho and he’s been also too chilly. Very interesting lifestyle they both live that’s for sure. Hannah then gave us the stuff that we had ordered through Amazon. We then saw a cool looking motorcycle in the parking lot and shared it with Pat. We then switched routes what you got to the hotel. He was very cooperative now it’s 10:14 PM and we’re just mellowing out till we get super tired and just go to bed very eventful day
