Yesterday we took the bus from Seward to Anchorage and rented a car. We went to Fred Meyers and got two $20 sleeping bags for the two nights in the cabin at Byers Lake and then we went to the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. We saw a lumberjack show, an 85 pound cabbage (that's bigger than the pig that we cooked over three boxes of cabbages at the luau) and a lot of happy Alaskans. We had salmon quesadillas that were really good, and then we came to the Alaska Garden Gate B & B, which is really a lovely place. And it turns out that Karen, the owner, provides WiFi internet access, so I'm sitting here at my laptop entering another blog entry. The last entry was from a dial-up speed public internet shop, which after downloading 6 pictures showed me only two of them, but today I got to check, and they are all there! The mushroom picture was from our walk in the woods after floating down the river through the Eagle Preserve outside of Haines. The cruise ship was actually quite nice, and we will miss it.
