Walking with Friends

My friend Lindsay and I went for a walkabout today.  We drove to downtown Anchorage, got flavored milk steamers (pumpkin for me...gingerbread for Lindsay) from Snow City Cafe, and then went for a walk along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.  It was so much fun!

A view of the Cook Inlet with some of the last fall colors-

Once we got to Westchester Lagoon, we looped back around and headed back towards downtown.  (We had to get back before the parking meter ran out of funds...)  Anyway, back in downtown we saw a sculpture that we had never seen before.  It was made in honor of Captain Cook and all of his adventures.

The Endeavor, Resolution, and Discovery...not in order, I'm sure.

Then we got distracted by an antiques store.  They had a ton of very old, very expensive stuff.  I saw a cannon that I thought was cool.  I didn't dare look at the price tag.  But this picture was free!  :)

After we made in back to the car, we decided to go get lunch at Great Harvest in Midtown.

I had never eaten at a Great Harvest Bread Co store before.  I never knew they let you sample their bread just because you walked in the store.  This knowledge is dangerous...very very dangerous...
