The Third day of my great Anchorage Adventure!

So my mom and I got up early and decided to get on the road early. We went to get my shoe fixed first. I took it to a shoe repair place and they were going to mail it out to me in Dillingham. I was excited about that. Then we decided to go see a glacier. You have to go on a boat tour for that. So we headed back down the same way that we came from yesterday. The cruise was only about half way to seward though and took over an hour. We saw a glacier and then we saw a black bear.

On the way to the tour though we saw some other people stopped on the side of the road and I of course pulled over. There were Dall sheep on the side of the road. They live in the mountains, they are white and like 5 feet tall. It was a great sight to see. After the glacier tour we went to the Ulu knife factory and took a tour and bought 7 knives. After that we went to take pictures of the combat fishing. This is where people practically stand on top of each other and fish. Its amazing that they actually catch something but they do.

After we saw the combat fishing we went to the Zoo. We only had an hour and a half before it closed but we thought it would be fun anyway. We managed to see everything in the zoo but my favorite part was getting to see the polar bear in the water. It was just playing with its ball and having such a good time. Polar Bears are beautiful creatures.

After the zoo, we called my grandmother and talked to her for a while and I noticed that my cell phone had two missed calls. So I looked to see who they were from and it was Mike and Tom. They were staying in my apartment and wanted to say hi. I could not call them back at that moment but I decided to later.

We went back to the hotel to change and get ready for dinner. We went to the Moose's Tooth. Its a Pub and they only serve pizza, salad and beer. Which is fine with me! We had a really good pizza and don't even really like pizza! I actually liked my beer as well.

After dinner went back to our hotel and I checked my phone. Tom and Mike had called back and they were drunk. I had made the mistake of telling them that they had free range of my apt. I forgot about the alcohol. I was kinda bummed at first because they drank my favorite bottle of wine but they told me that they would replace it and I was ok with that. Then my mom and I went out to finish our shopping. We had a lot to do because I really had not bought anything thus far.

I spent a good chunk of change on souvenirs and got a couple of things for myself as well. I was happy with what I bought. I just hope I bought everything that I need for all of my friends and family. But the real question was are we going to make it back to Dillingham with all of this stuff and is my mom going to it make it back to ME with all of that stuff. Bedtime!
