Left Fairbanks and headed south to Anchorage. Could see Mt. McKinley but still lots of smoke. Before we hit Anchorage, we peeled off the extra layers of clothing since it was at least 80 degrees. The locals say this is very unusual. Last year it didn't get above 55 degrees and rained a lot. Glad we picked this year to journey to Alaska.Anchorage is a "big" city, for Alaska.
Didn't really see anything that interested us here so we decided to go check out Seward on the Kenai Peninsula. What a beautiful ride on the Seward Highway, a national scenic by-way along the Cook Inlet, 
and then across the mountains into Seward. This was an unexpected trip but glad we didn't miss it. It's a little city of over 3,000 and home to charter fishing boats and glacier cruises. 
Up to now, I hadn't really seen a Bald Eagle up close. Today I've seen two!!
Tomorrow, we're going to get up early and take a walk to a glacier, then a ferry ride on the Marine Highway.
