Arrival in Alaska

Just before our airplane landed in Anchorage, we flew over the spectacular Wrangell-St. Elias mountains. Angela was enraptured. Our Boeing 737 was high enough to allow me to see the whole expanse of a 70-mile long glacier. One tidewater glacier lay below us looking like a tiny white carpet, and in the fjord at its base floated a cruise ship with passengers admiring the frozen giant. We’ll be doing the same thing in a couple of days, but now it is good to rest, refresh and prepare for the scenic train ride down to Seward tomorrow. At about 8:30 pm, we finally arrived at La Quinta Inn in Anchorage.もっと詳しく
