Talk about being treated like a King, After spending the first restful night since my arrival I woke up to the smell of bacon and freshly brewed coffee so I quickly jumped into the shower to get ready the next chapter of my saga in Alaska.
After a delicious breakfast, my two guides for the day, Karla and Dionna were knocking themselves out put trying to plan a day trip that would give me an opportunity to photograph some the local scenery. By the time it was decided where we would go it was time for lunch so we loaded up my camera gear and returned to Anchorage for a a delightful meal at the Glacier Brew House. This establishment is located on 737 West Fifth Ave, and happens to be one of the favorite places Karla likes to frequent. This also happens to be an award winning brewery/restaurant with a winning reputation as on of Alaska's finest places to dine that offers wide selection expertly prepared seafood.
Since I am not a connoisseur of beer due to the fact that the results of a couple of beers will have the same effect as a large shot of Novocain causing my lips and nose to go numb and losing control of my tongue. I also lose my my sense of equilibrium having found myself under the table on various occasions conversing with a table leg. To save my hosts that embarrassment I ordered a Jack & Coke along with slab of salmon and both were excellent. Ordering a salmon dish is a "have to" if you are visiting Alaska, it would be like going to Maine and not ordering the clam chowder.
As our magical mystery tour progressed down the Seward Highway to Girdwood the weather was cooperating with warm temperatures and a steady wind. The wind make for constantly changing cloud formations that added a "Wow" factor to every panoramic view of Cook Inlet.
At different stops along the way where I found large groups of people taking pictures I tried to avoid them by not becoming part of the group. Its not that I am antisocial, I just wanted to take my photographs from a different perspective.
We finally made it to a gas station in Girdwood and not a moment to soon since all of us had to make a pit stop. We are now on our way to Mt. Alyeska Ski Resort and surrounding areas so keep following my posts for more exciting updates.
