Alaska :: Day 1

June 22nd, 2009 by Fernando

Flew to Anchorage–picked up my rental car and was shocked at the sticker price: $1650!! Sundays in Anchorage are pretty quiet. Downtown wasn’t very happening, but I still walked around and got to know the town a little. Had dinner at Ginger and it was OK. “House-made” ginger ale was terrible; the ginger was too strong. Halibut was tasty. Went to Earthquake Park and got attacked by mosquitoes.
