we arrived in Anchorage today after visiting a wildlife sanctuary, another tramway to a huge mountain where international skiing occurs and the local museum with an brilliant and thorough presentation on Alaskan history. along the way we continued to chat with people and hear of lives lived differently. today a guy who has been to China 21 times!
once booked into our sunshine filled room at the Copper Whale Inn, we wandered around Anchorage. It is a city and so different from our other Alaskan visits to towns with an interesting past and a unique quality. This is a city that seems to be growing and developing - oil seems important!
anyhow we wandered into a cute shop and discovered licorice. all sorts of licorice including 2 types of Australian licorice. we haven't seen much Aussie influence around apart from wines on dining room wine lists, which we have avoided. we chatted with the young shop assistant. she claimed the Aussie licorice was her most popular brand.
so we drank out coffee and wandered some more. another chance meeting with a young couple from Houston took place in the park. we had our final chat - the first one started in a queue as we attempted to get on board our ship. I must have chatted 3 or 4 times with him as our path crossed on the ship.
well we are tired tonight. after dining with 2 Australian couples, we danced hard and went to bed late. We had to get up early to leave the ship and catch our tour. We discovered we now have to turn on taps again. for a week on board the Diamond Princess we have not turned on a tap. they just worked!
But fancy, Aussie licorice popular in Anchorage.
