Sunday was our daughter Beths birthday, she was born in Athabasca, Alberta, one of the stops along the way for us. Here she is with her daughter Lauren on the left and her niece Grace on the right.
Sunday, we ate breakfast at our friends home, Gary and Kim Martin and sons, Simon and Avery. Yum! We went with them to the Mennonite church in Anchorage and after church we went to Flat Top, a beautiful view of the city. 
We had a great walk up the short mountain and the view of the city was impressive but hazy. If you look hard, you can see Cooks Inlet. The Anchorage port stays open year around. The tide moves at least 30 feet every 6 hours. 
I finally got my eagle in flight, while we were on Flat top. I hope to get even closer. We went to a downdown market in the afternoon, then said our goodbyes to Gary and Kim. We then drove on 4th street in downtown Anchorage, where the Iditorod begins every March. Yes, Wilbur was excited to see where it begins. Several days ago we were in Willow and that is where the Restart is held for the race. He has been getting his Ititorod fix. 
Alaska is celebrating 50 years of Statehood.
We went to the home of highschool friends Nelson and Margaret Gingerich in the late afternoon. We enjoyed their lovely home in a lovely setting. It was so good to reconnect with them. Later we went out for a delicious dinner in Anchorage. 
Today we are off to Seward, another port. I will blog when I can get on the net.
