Back from Denali

Another night at the Grande Denali Lodge after our bus tour yesterday and we were back in the motor home today to head back to Chugiak for one last night at Steve and Mabel's.  We turned in the motor home and moved back into Flodin's Bed & Breakfast.


We took our hosts to dinner at Club Paris, a phenomenal place in Anchorage that specializes in steaks.  Our meals were delicious, and Mike in particular was happy to have a meal that did not include seafood.  (He is not a lover of anything edible from the sea.)  The dinner was small payment for our hosts feeding us and hauling us around while we were in between side trips.


So the guys must have been rather disappointed that they were not with the girls when we visited Knight's Taxidermy because they went there late this afternoon.  I think they really enjoyed it.  Of course Tina was willing to pose again for more tourists.


Tomorrow is a shopping day at the Anchorage Saturday Market where vendors set up booths and the city comes alive with shopping.  We will have the chance to make some last minute purchases from this great state.  Some of us plan to do some hiking on Bear Mountain in the afternoon.

It feels pretty good to relax and wind down tonight.  The cribbage games are ongoing, and our feet are up on the recliners.  It has been a long fun week.


 Tomorrow night our dinner will be fresh halibut and shrimp from our fishing trip with Steve and Mabel.  It will be our last meal of the freshest seafood ever.  Then we will head for the airport at about 9 pm for our 11:25 pm overnight flight to Chicago, landing at 8:30 am Sunday.   Yawn.......
