Day 36 - Palmer / Anchorage

                                  We decided to move closer to Anchorage, exactly 2.5 miles closer.

                                          Better view and nicer park, but we miss cousin Eddie.

                                         There's not really any nice parks closer to Anchorage.

                                       We went to the trading post but had nothing to trade

                                                          Where in the world are we?

                                          Pam finally found Sarah.  Where else but shopping.

                                                         Have we told you about the flowers?

                                                                             Have we?
                                                                            Amazing

                                                      Definitely not how you picture Alaska.

                                                                      We took the tour.

        It went by the airport, where they have dredged out canals to handle the hundreds of float planes.

     1 out of 6 Alaskans has a Pilot's license and there is a 9 year waiting list for a slip for your float plane.

                                               These are the only whales we've seen so far.

But we've spent most of our time in the interior.  The folks in Anchorage do have a nice surrounding view.


When we got back to the park we went to the Thursday night Square Dance.  Some watched, some danced.

                                  Despite the striking resemblance, that is not Jerry in the shorts.

                                          This guy grabbed Pam and tried to smack Lon (NOT)

                                                   They honored the dancers, visitor/beginners

                                                       And gave us a badge "of courage"

                                                    Shirley R would have been proud.
