A thirty five or forty mile drive south of Anchorage is the town of Girdwood and the Alyeska Ski Resort. This is a very nice outing if the weather is nice, which it was! Six of us (Michael wasn't able to come) made the beautiful drive, one of the most beautiful in the world, well of the world I am aware of anyway.
There is a very nice hotel at the base of the mountain which operates a tram up into the heights.

| Just arriving. |
We ate at the deli. Kinda expensive, not the greatest, but a tradition so there you are. This photo is grainy because the flash wasn't on for this shot and the next one wasn't nearly as good so I had to lighten it up and this is the result. The scenery out the window is washed out. Still good though.

| There were a lot of small bugs flying around. It was quite annoying. |

| Hey! Where'd everybody go? |
 |
| This is a view of Turnagain Arm. The road we drive on is about 30 miles along its coast. The arm is very shallow as inlet go. The tide is out shown here. That area is full of water when the tide is in. |

| Notice the para-sail in this picture? |
