------ or maybe there'll be time tomorrow, we'll see.
Rainy day, but not enough to dampen our spirits.
The Aurora Collection was AMAZING! I just can't describe how magnificent Dave Parkhurst's photographs of many years of aurora, set to piano and guitar, could be. Nearly everyone bought a copy of the DVD (did I spell that right?) A very moving experience.
After the show and a quick chat with Dave it was onto Cabin Fever to meet with talented artist Barbara Lavelle. Another website worth visiting. Lots of books and prints were purchased.
Cabin Fever is a very nice gift store, good quality at reasonable prices.
Mike our driver then drove us around the city. We saw a moose standing in someones yard. gosh he was big, but horns just buds at this early stage of the season. Our afternoon tour included a golf shop (sorry Barney - just junk and good golfers don't like junk) and the bush Pilots Park at the airport. Alaska has the highest number of float planes in the world and this lake at the airport is just for them. Kind of like with your boat. A small shed and tie your plane out outside, or drag it up on the dry. The road markings are like at a rail crossing, but these are for 'planes crossong'. Stopped and watched a few take off, but quite fresh out there.
Last minute purcxhases are being made, bags at being sat on and all is well with the world.
Maybe tomorrow, but if not next week,
Lesley & the 40 slightly weary travellers
