Wasilla, AK

Well, here we are in Wasilla, AK, home of Sarah Palin. Wasilla is a nice town with two lakes and mountains in the background. We're staying at the Best Western which is located on the shores of Lake Lucille. Many of the homeowners on this lake have float planes.

We didn't see Sarah at McDonalds, but maybe she eats later than we do.

Our trip from Homer to Wasilla today has been perfect. We saw a cow moose with her baby, and later, another adult moose. The weather has been perfect....about 65 and sunny. In the Cooper River Recreation Area we watched lots of people fishing....they were lined up on both shores and in the middle of the river at about every 5 feet. The same area was busy with rafters going through rapids. We also watched kite sailing?!?

We left Homer and the Bay Avenue Bed and Breakfast after a yummy breakfast this morning. We would recommend this B&B to anyone traveling to Homer. Laurie, the owner (originally from Sleepy Eye, MN) is great and has connections to the fishing industry. She had a full house while we were there, and did a great job of introducing all her guests and making them feel welcome.

We've been on the road a week. At times it's hard to believe it has only been a week since we've done so much in that short period. We also realize we only have a few more days before we head for home. Tomorrow we will head for Denali, about 200 miles north.

It has been nice to stay connected with phone, email, blogs, and internet. The Blackberry is so nice!
