WE'RE HOME! TALKEETNA ALASKA

Now this is what we are looking for! We rode the train again yesterday back South from Denali to the very small town of Talkeetna! Famous for the beginning photos from the popular show "Northern Exposure". Even though the cabin we are staying in is still expensive and sits right on the main drag, the small town atmosphere is here! After a little mix up with our not being picked up from the train station and the depot manager giving us a ride, we met our host Mavis and got to our cabin! She then gave us a tour of the town in her pickup truck and we were feeling much more comfortable than the place we had just left. She called Denali Park "THE GLITTER DISTRICT" and we agreed. The amenities of those places are far less than this small town area for sure!!
Today we have a 3 Rivers Jet Boat tour and the rest of the time until tomorrow at 4pm to explore this quaint little town. If the sun is shining and there is a chance to see Denali Mt. I still haven't ruled out the flight seeing trip!
We have enjoyed all of your comments. There is so many pictures I would like to post on here but we aren't sitting still long enough. We did get some bad news that our good friend Deb Basil's friend Gary passed away and our hearts are aching for her again!! Those of you that know her please send her a note or a phone call! We wish we were there to hug her. On a happier note, Thank You Jon and Marylou for suggesting I try the Alaskan Halibut! It was awesome!! I hope Faith enjoyed her 4th birthday yesterday! We watched the video I took of her blowing out the candles on her cake when we celebrated before we left! It doesn't seem like it's been 4 years since we were waiting for her to be born so that we could get to the airport and head for our first trip to Alaska!!
