... traveling. In stores, people look you in the eye like maybe they know you from somewhere. Drivers are rude, like anywhere, but not always. Anchorage citizens are friendlier, freer, feistier. You can't tell who has the money.No one cares who your daddy is. Well, maybe that's changing a bit. But since we became a state in 1959, where's the status? "Hey my family has been in Alaska since 1959?" Don't think so. Some people are starting to show their money. There is a big ...

... how huge the eruption was! The place reminded me of the landscapes generated by the eruptions of Mont St Helens in 1980 in the U.S. and Mount Pinatubo in 1991 in the Philippines.

Such a place built by a recent volcanic eruption reminds us that our planet is not dead. More large-scale eruptions are likely to occur in Katmai or elsewhere in the world. There were no casualties during the 1912 ...

... Tooth restaurant, which was our dinner destination for pizza. Everyone was right; it was fantastic. They even make their own root beer. Our waiter was very personable; told us about the log house he is building and cutting the logs himself. Good thing we got there a little early because a line formed very soon.

Thought we’d walk some of dinner off at Earthquake ...

... and the situation in Russia were on people's minds. Who would have known how quickly the focus would change by the end of August! It is always good to be learning so here are a few of the things I have learned in the months I have spent in Alaska: 1. The mosquito is fondly referred to as the Alaska State Bird. 2. Beluga whales are born muddy looking and turn white as they age. 3. That working "The Slope" does not mean you are operating ...

... his breakfast. I notice now that sick bags are in quite frequent use around the cabin. The captain comes on the radio to inform us that lunch service will be somewhat delayed, due to the circumstances. Honestly, I wonder, who is thinking of lunch at this point in time? We finally reach another area protected from the ocean by cliffs and a small island. The boat, briefly, is calm. But we're a lone vessel on the uncaring ocean, and we all know that we'll have to fight rough waters again soon ...

... exhibition - loud and filled with repetitive percussive pounding. After our tour, the guys gave up and I headed on to find a local fish store where I learned all about the types of crab and received the latest halibut update. I also checked out the New Sagaya Market which is really worth the trip. Saw the famous Italian ugly fish which turns out to be a Scorpion Fish. Must be caught around here because the price was quite a bit more reasonable than in Italy ...

... the
highlight of our trip, there many animals here to see in their natural
habitat (not like a zoo) and all the proceeds from the admission ticket
and gift shop purchases go to taking care of them. I even got to feed a
deer. My alaska trip was amazing and I look forward to the day that I
can revisit this beautiful state of wilderness.

... Cook and free movies about different things in Alaska. So, the day ended better than it started.

I actually sent my resume to a company here that is looking for a senior level HR person to do HR consulting. I figured, what the heck. I can at least see what the position entails and what they have to offer . . . They've been back in touch with me and want to schedule an interview. I'll give them a call, but I'm not sure I could handle Anchorage in the winter.

... lunch. Not too bad...that great smell before turned out to be deep dish personal pepperoni pizzas! Greasy food always smells amazing! =) It wasn't too bad either. We also got a bag of sliced apples but I didn't really like mine... Eh...can't enjoy everything, right? =) So I guess theres about two more hours to go. I feel for everyone on tour coming from Australia and New Zealand! Ouch! Hopefully they did more than just this tour! =) 4pm (Alaska time!): I ...
