| Not much to report today. We all needed a rest and Sam was not feeling well so we decided not to do any sightseeing. After lunch we went our separate ways and just walked around Anchorage for a few hours. There is a Saturday and Sunday Market downtown and we wound up going through there. We expected native crafts and Alaska vegetables, but found that it was nothing more than a flea market. Still, it was interesting to walk through. | |||||||||||
