Day 354. July 26, 2014. Exploring Anchorage

LOCATION:  Anchorage in south central part of Alaska

WEATHER:  Very pleasant.  Sunny. Highs in 60s

We went to the Anchorage Farmers' Market downtown.  It was packed, including bus loads of people from the cruise ships.  

Then we went to a downtown brewpub.  They have a nice deck, with beautiful flowers.

There is a nice view of the harbor.

We had a delicious blackened Alaskan cod sandwich.

We walked around downtown Anchorage.  It is milder here in the winter than in Minnesota.  Lots of people were out, soaking up the sunshine.

We ran errands, and returned to campground.  We missed our favorite radio show, Prairie Home Companion, due to time zone difference.

DINNER:  This campground does not have fire rings, so we have to cook inside.  We will postpone grilling steaks until next campground.  I marinated portabello mushrooms in olive oil and herbs, basil and oregano, and sautéed them with onions and bell peppers.  We had potabello mushroom sandwiches with toasted baguette slices, and a side of cucumbers in Greek yogurt.
