We had a leisurely morning with the usual buffet breakfast at around 8.

On FB this morning i sadly learned that Jimmy Musnicki had died.

We got going on the bus about 9:30 and went to the Alaska
Heritage Center in Anchorage for a few hours. I enjoyed the
crafts people and the native costumes of the Alaskan Natives.
Lib and I sat in the front row and watched young people perform
Alaskan Native dances before I went for a walk in the rain
around the lake which was set up with typical Alaskan native
living quarters across various regions of Alaska. We took a
group photo in front of the sculpture in front of the facility.
Our bus next went into downtown Anchorage where we had lunch at
the 49th state brewing company. I ordered a bread bowl of
chowder which came with a salad. Accompanying the chowder we
had a glass of Alaskan Amber. What a lunch. We were dropped in
front of the Egan building and headed straight for JC Penny and
found the optical center on the third floor. The very nice lady
put a missing screw into Libbie's glasses and crimped the end.
She was friendly and did not charge for the service. After
Penneys we found North Face and bought rain pants for me but
they didn't have any for Libbie. A trip around the corner to
Rays Outfitters resulted in a pair of rain pants for Libbie as
well. She was the one who wanted them in the first place. We
got to the Lakefront Inn near the airport and pigged out on the
WiFi which was excellent. I got to post a few glacier pictures
and the Talkeetna general store pics. A surprising number of
people knew about the cat who was elected mayor according to the
comments on Facebook.

We had an appetizer of Salmon mousse and Nachos in the bar which
we called dinner. We had an Alaskan Amber to accompany the
meal. It was very noisy. Mary and Alan from Great Britain
joined us. It was a nice evening in a very noisy bar fo
