Well we spent our first day exploring Anchorage. hat a beautiful city...and so very clean!! I think this is the first thing we both noticed. It's a nice small city and about half of the people who live in Alaska live here..About 300,000. And the FLOWERS here at unbelievable!! All it takes is 24 hours of sunlight this time of year along with lots of rain fall. You would not believe what it does for the color and the SIZE of all the flowers...even the Queen Ann's lace in the fields near the highway is 4-5 feet tall!! Since I cannot possible do justice to them with an explanation, here are some photos we took today.... Check out these Cosmos. the blooms are over 2" in diameter. And the visitor center in town is a small log cabin-like building...and the plantings were outstanding. There was also a city worker there deadheading the flowers on her hands and knees...unreal.
Next Stop....The Anchorage Zoo
