Our first stop of the day was to find Drixoral for my sinus problem but we were unable to find any.
Then we stopped at the library to catch upon emails, this blog, and our finances. I had to wait a hour for a computer for the first time since being on this trip. This is the main library in town and is beautiful. It has several stain glass panels by local artists. A "quiet room" with about 15 upholstered chairs with swing-away arms intended for use by people with lap tops. The room also has a huge stone fireplace (and it looks used) with large windows on either side.
We're seeing more and more moose but mostly they are too far away to get any photos. Many of the gift shops and stores sell genuine moose nugget jewelry and other tacky items. On the way up, we saw many, many espresso huts no bigger than about four phone booths out in the middle of nowhere, a Thai food and BBQ cafe in Cooper Landing, turquoise rivers and lakes, and about twenty miles south of Fairbanks, we saw a white sofa filled with stuffed bears sitting on top of a road cut. We stopped for some groceries and noticed ham, cheese and macaroni loaf lunch meat, and Ice Java syrup for milk. We couldn't find any ham salad...just got strange looks. If a sign says, "Stop of Interest Ahead", it means an informational plaque of historical event.
Later we drove on down to North Pole, AK. So we are officially on our way home. We stopped for the night at Big Delta State Park. We didn't travel many miles today. Also the temperature is getting significantly warmer.
