WEATHER: Cold and rain all day. Highs in 50s
We packed up from Whittier quickly in order to catch the tunnel release time. The long tunnel to/from Whittier is one-way, and just opens up each side once an hour.
Of course, we were low on gas, and I was afraid we would run out of gas in the middle of the tunnel. We made it, of course, and George proudly found less expensive gas on the other side of the tunnel.
We stopped at a beautiful hotel called Alyeska Resort. It is especially busy as a ski resort, but always lots of tour buses. See this mountain of suitcases!
The grounds are beautifully landscaped.
We arrived in Anchorage in the rain. There is really only one campground option in the city. It is a bit crowded. It is a mix of RVers like us, as well as some dilapidated permanent trailers. We wanted a few days in the city to shop, do laundry, use showers.
We went to a super popular brewpub for lunch. It specializes in pizza. Our Cuban sandwich came with a pizza dough bread rather than regular bread. Interesting.
We stayed inside in the PM, due to the rain, reading and watching PBS.
DINNER: YAHOO! The very end of the salmon. I crumbled up the cooked salmon patty left over from the tacos, added chopped celery and mayonnaise, and turned it into a salmon salad wrap. I think we had about 10 meals from that one sock-eye salmon.
