Seward

The sunset in Anchorage is a lot like the sunset at Mallory Square in Key West – It’s a party! At least it was at the park we found about 10 minutes outside of Anchorage last night. There were 50 cars in the parking lot and a guy selling reindeer sausage from a hot dog cart at midnight – on a Tuesday. The biggest difference – party lasts a lot longer here.

This was sunset at 11:20pm. 🙂

Today was a beautiful sunny day. The perfect kind to drive the Seward Highway. (Side note: Alaska has only 8 highways in the entire state!) I wish there were more words I could use to describe it – beautiful, stunning, gorgeous, spectacular… I would use them all but it wouldn’t capture just how beautiful this area is. Even the pictures don’t do it justice. We were surrounded by mountains and unlike driving in Colorado it really wasn’t mountain driving. The highest elevation we reached was 1000 ft.

Our Airbnb in Seward is right on the harbor. When I first looked at the listing I thought the windows were just pictures on the wall.

Seward is on the edge of a rain forest so naturally it was raining when we arrived. We walked around this quaint little town, ate dinner and were excited to get back to our little place on the harbor. This is our setup for blog writing, sea otter viewing and people watching. It’s like watching a reality TV show only they really don’t know you’re watching 😁

He eats a lot! He was right outside our window for 30 minutes. Diving and bringing up fish after fish to eat. Not seen in this photo are the seagulls circling him trying to eat his dinner.
