We got Crabs

Anchorage

We woke up this morning and had nowhere to be for the first time in 3 weeks!! What a great feeling to have. We finally ventured out around 2:30.

Andy is a bit disappointed with Anchorage in the fact that he thought it was going to be alot smaller (pop 280,00) and have a "homey" feeling. But, I assured him that when we get to Kodiak, we will definitely have the small town feel (pop 12,000). No matter what feeling Kodiak gives us, it is going to be our home for the next 3 years : )

We ran a few errands around town and some how ended up downtown in a restaurant and that is where we got our crabs; King crabs that is. The crabs were absolutely delicious. We are hoping the crabs are as good in Kodiak as they are in Anchorage.


We are back at the hotel now and have to get up at 4am to drive to Homer to catch the ferry to Kodiak. Did I mention that the ferry ride to Kodiak is 11.5 hours? With the sun actually never setting (they actually say there is 3 hours of darkness but we have yet to see that) and the anticipation of actually getting to Kodiak, it may be tough falling asleep tonight.

We forgot to bring our camera out and about with us today so we will leave you with pictures from the glacier. We will be back up and blogging on the 4th unless there is wireless on the ferry. The 4th of July fireworks actually go off at midnight on the 3rd and we will are scheduled to arrive at 11 pm!

Happy 4th to everyone.

Much love

Nancy, Andy, Hogan and Brandy
