My body hurts. Walking on ice and snow must use muscles that I was not aware I had. Even my ab muscles are a bit sore. Now that I have gotten that whining out of the way let me tell you about my day.
Davita had to go to work today so I spent the morning lounging around the house watching TV and uploading pictures. This afternoon we hiked up to Thunderbird Falls. It is a pretty little waterfall that is mostly frozen this time of the year. It was a bit of a challenging hike up to the falls. And it didn't help that things are melting a bit and there is a lot of ice showing now. We had to wear shoe spikes just to be able to hike there. The hike was scary at points because we were walking on mostly ice with a sheer cliff drop off on one side of us. One wrong step and we would have gotten a very close look at the creek that Thunderbird Falls filters in to. :-)
We then drove to Anchorage to visit Wild Berry Farms. They make chocolate and candy and have lots of souvenirs. They also have the largest chocolate fountain (20 feet tall). To our dismay it wasn't on. How disappointing is that?!! The trip was not wasted because they had lots of cool things to purchase as souvenirs.
After dinner at Chili's we are now back at Davita's house. Another fun day...except I'm really sore now! :-)

No chocolate??? That is disappointing!
I have never been to Alaska but want to go. I do envy you right now for being there. I do have one questions that mabey you can answer. I heard Alaska does not have alot of daylight hours in the winter Is this true? Does it get dark very early compared to other states? Also, I have heard it said that it stay light outside all day in the summer. Have you heard any of this? I'm just interested thats all:) Have a wonderful trip!
Hi Juney. Right now there is quite a bit of daylight. I'm not sure what time the sun is coming up because I think I'm still in bed, but it doesn't set until around 6:30pm. Now I have heard that there is indeed only 4-5 hours of sunlight during the winter and 20+ hours during the summer. I plan to visit again in the summer so I will let you know for sure then. :-)
Thanks for letting me know....Hope you had a great trip. I will continue to read your blog!
