Saturday Market

One of Jim's points of interest for our trip this time was to make it to the Saturday Market in downtown Anchorage. It was quite a little stroll to get there and not quite far enough to warrant taking a taxi but with the sun shining bright it might have been a better choice. The Saturday Market is a HUGE type of flea market with locals selling their goods wether it be homemade soap or bowls carved out of a knot from a tree, to the best food cooked right out of their tents. We ended up finding a shady spot and getting a bite to eat and enjoyed the view from there.

After getting our second wind I really wanted to visit the Alaska State Troopers Museum and it seemed like only a couple blocks away and Jim was determined I get there. After walking a little farther and asking for directions we finally found it to be CLOSED for the Holiday! Needless to say we found a taxi to take us back to our B & B. We were pretty whipped travelers from the walking, the sunshine and the jet lag. Today will be much easier because we will be boarding the train at 8am.
