Back in Alaska!!

My Dad, Nali, and I made it to Anchorage a little before 4 this morning. I am so grateful that I am almost back home in Toksook for the school year!!

It is just such a long trip. We left Indiana at about 6:40 pm Saturday and then made it to Anchorage by about 8 am Indiana time on Sunday. We are currently staying in Anchorage, at the Puffin Inn, until Monday morning. Our flight is at 9:45 am Monday morning and we should be back in Toksook by 2 pm.



In Anchorage we went to the market in downtown Anchorage to start our day. While there they had some circus performers. It was a great show!! They juggled fire, did some acrobatics, rode a unicycle, and shot a plunger arrow at a pan. It was absolutely hilarious.



After the market, we did a shopping trip at Fred Meyer. I was able to fill a cooler with meat for at a least a month and some other goodies, like bread and fresh produce.


Next we came back to the hotel to rest up and spend some time with Nali. We wanted to get some energy for our next adventure.




Before we left we got the new edition of the Runner's World magazine. I usually look at the rave run and dream of how I could actually do it. It just so happens this month's rave run was in Anchorage on the wolverine trail. Unfortunately, it is 5.2 miles to the peak so that would be about a 10 mile run. However, we did make it out there with Nali and went for about 30 minutes before we turned around. Nali was breathing so hard and I didn't want to have to carry her back. lol.













We wore Nali out. The hike took us a little over an hour. Usually our walks are like 30 minutes, if we take one.
