Today we checked out of Annie's Inn and got a ride to Avis car rental in Anchorage. When we left Seward, it was covered in a blanket of fog. I guess we timed it perfectly, because we had sunny skies all week. We rode the Seward Bus Line. It was the oldest and run down bus ever. We weren't sure we would make it there. The driver got out a couple times and crawled under the bus to check something... When we got to Anchorage, we rented a Nissan Sentra. We ate lunch in Anchorage and then drove to Girdwood. (about 40 miles) We checked in to The Girdwood Guest house. It is a B&B. We have the whole downstairs with private entrance etc. It even has a laundry room. The owners brought us freshly baked homemade bread. The full kitchen is stalked with everything we need to make a yummy breakfast. We went for a 2 mile walk to check out the area. It is a tiny ski town. We dressed up and then rode the Alyeska Tram to the top of the mountain. Once there, we had reservations at the Seven Glacier's Restaurant. It was very expensive. $120.00 for 2 of us. The view from our table was breathtaking. We are very plain eaters, so we didn't know what to order. Doug actually had Halibut. I had some soup and weird salad with my steak! Then we rode the tram back down. It is a very pretty resort. We were told by the owners of our B&B to watch out for black bears. They have been seen all around town this week. This is a very heavily wooded area.
