Fish Update & Other Thoughts

Roger had a great time on his fishing trip yesterday. He caught about 8 Halibut, but could only keep 2. This fish is yummy tasting. It was beautiful and sunny all day yesterday; from the locals reaction, all the sunshine and warm temps (high 50's) was something of a special treat. It was a welcome relief for these Floridans as well! Today though was rainy and cold (low 50's), but still the scenery was beautiful!! Its 6pm here and the rain has finally subsided and the sun is shining! Its a whopping 55 degrees! We spent the whole weekend in Seward AK, and drove back to Anchorage today.

We have been a little disappointed in the resturants here. Last night we went to the Crab Pot. We're in Alaska, in a little tiny fishing town, so you kinda think you know what your expecting at a place called the Crab Pot. Well, it was oriental and though it served seafood (not chinese food), the food still had Asain flair. And as much as we like Chinese food, we didn't really like this food. So, while usually we try to eat a local places when we're traveling, today we sought out the comfort of a familiar resturant.

We also went to the Alaskan Conservation Center today. They rehibilatate animals who have been injured, etc. We were up close and personal with bear, elk, and bison. We'll post more pictures tomorrow. If you haven't been to the bottom of the blog (scroll all the way down), there are some pictures from Exit Glacier there.

Bear Hugs from Alaska!

Lisa, Did Roger take his gun. He could bring us some meat home from the size of that moose.

Hope this one comes through - let me know
Love KP
