What can I say about Anchorage? I haven't got to see much of it- yet! I was in meetings all day yesterday and when they ended we were having quite the snow storm. The snow was beautiful. We walked down to the marine trail but the tide was out and with the snow and the cloudy skies you could not see much to enjoy the walk. I have not seen the moose they advertise in the city parks but to be fair the marine trail is all I have been on.
I have seen the seedier side of Anchorage. I have seen the drunks in the alleys and people lurking behind garbage cans, smoking something other than cigerettes. I have been approached by a few panhandlers and yelled at by some of the unfriendly natives. Anchorage is like a lot of the very large cities across the US in a state full of beauty it is hard to believe the same city scape is here as in it is in say Houston. Just not in the magnitude. Today's game plan is to go to meetings all day while Ken and Craig hit the museums and then we are going to start shopping tonight. We did finally find a DQ last night and I savored every bite. We had lunch ar Arby's yesterday and I have to say that it just didn't have much taste compared to all our home cooked meals. I felt the same way about McDonalds the day before. I really don't think they are very good anymore. Sorry corporate america.
