The first day of my great anchorage adventure

So, we started our adventure by first having coffee and breakfast in the Cafe that I told you about yesterday. I am definitely in love with it. I have also decided to open my own cafe if I ever moved to Dillingham permanently. It would be called Kris's Kafe...I am still working on the name suggestions are welcome. Feel free to use the comment button! Pat picked us up from our hotel and then drove us to the cafe and then we went to the Mall. We saw Harry Potter. The movie was great. I loved the movie as the movie and if I had never read the books I would have loved it more. But it didn't really follow the book and that made me sad. I keep thinking that they did this differently and they did this differently and so on.

Then we went to a Fred Meyers. They are like a Target/Walmart type of store. I wanted to get chocolate chip cookie mix for the church potlucks they have. We shopped and I bought tons of souvenirs to take home for everyone. Then Pat brought us back to the hotel and my mom and I went to a local market where we got to look around for other gifts. They didn't have many native gifts but they had lots of interesting things and we bought some great stuff. After that we went to Church. The Catherdial was not a large church and probably not half the size of Christ the King in RI and smaller than Sacred Heart church in Auburn. The most interesting thing about the church is that the minister had everyone who was a visitor raise their hands and 80% of the people raised their hands. It was very interesting. The pope also visited the church in 1981!

After that we went to Glacier Brewhouse and had another wonderful meal. We split and order of halibut fish and a Mediterranean pizza. It was really good. We had to wait a long time for the table because I think that everyone who when to church went to the same place but it was worth it. Then we did a little more shopping but ended our night early at about 10.
